From freshwater lakes and rushing rivers to the outstretched coastline, BC’s waterways are one of a kind. https://bit.ly/44U7VG6

Swim Drink Fish Canada (SDF) is helping local governments and First Nations explore outdoor swimming infrastructure with the WAVE Prize, designed to create more swimming piers and open-water pools across the province.

As part of the project, the North Vancouver Harbour Swimming Deck will offer free ocean swimming near Waterfront Park, with space for up to 400 people, a wheelchair-accessible ramp and shallow areas for families and newer swimmers.

Swimming, after all, is a landmark of health and water quality, and SDF is focused on protecting drinkable, fishable and swimmable waters on the West Coast over the long term.

What if, on one evening each year, Canadians across the country stepped outside together?

On July 18, Everyone Outdoors Together is inviting Canadians from coast to coast to take part in The Great Canadian Sunset Moment.

Led by the CPRA - ACPL, the national movement highlights how parks, trails, beaches, and neighbourhood green spaces support mental, physical and communal health.

The invitation is simple: step outside, reconnect with nature and take a moment to appreciate the shared spaces that support our well-being.
