Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation as it celebrates Rivers to Oceans week this year and unlocks underwater mysteries!

Reason to Celebrate!

Since 2007, Oceans Day (June 8) and Canadian Rivers Day (second Sunday in June) have been celebrated together in one of Canada’s newest celebratory “weeks” — Rivers to Oceans Week — from June 8 to 14. This special week focuses on creating an understanding of Canada’s watersheds, our connection to fresh- and saltwater environments, and what we can do to protect them.

Jump in!

All creatures — whether people or wildlife — live in a watershed. A watershed is an area of land that water flows across or though on its way to a particular water body. You can think of it as a network of springs, lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands, and all the land they drain. Rivers flow through a watershed as fresh water makes its journey from land to the salty wa­ter of the ocean. We invite you to celebrate Rivers to Oceans Week at your school and in your community.
