BC Rivers Day
BC Rivers Day was founded by world-renowned river advocate Mark Angelo and the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC in 1980. It celebrates and builds public awareness for British Columbia’s waterways. Our waterways are incredibly important, yet rivers and freshwater ecosystems are among the most at-risk ecosystems on the planet. They are threatened by urbanization, pollution, industrial development, invasive species, damming, excessive water extraction and climate change.
Good news for BC’s waterways, the love for our waterways runs deep! Recreation clubs, conservation organizations, community groups, schools, local governments and others mark BC Rivers Day by hosting film screenings, community barbeques, stream cleanups, paddling trips, and community ceremonies that help improve the health of BC’s rivers.
We'd love for you to take part!
