Celebrate World Ocean Day with Raincoast

On June 8, Achiever will be joining Ocean Week Victoria at Fisherman’s Wharf.

Ocean Week Victoria, held annually in the first week of June, brings together local organizations to raise awareness for ocean conservation and deliver fun and informative events across the Greater Victoria region. A part of Ocean Week Canada, it was launched in 2020 to celebrate our ocean and engage the local community in conservation.

This year, Ocean Week Victoria will be held from June 1 to June 8. Raincoast’s sailing research vessel Achiever will be joining World Ocean Day celebrations at Fisherman’s Wharf on Sunday, June 8. Stop by to learn about our ocean conservation work, and visit a working research vessel! Joining us will be over 20 organizations focused on ocean science, conservation and education, who will be leading fun and educational activities.
