Celebrate the Salish Sea and United Nations World Rivers' Day by participating in Coast Salish culture, paddling, cycling, swimming, making art, or just watching! This day-long celebration is open to everyone! For the casual Sunday visitor to the motivated athlete there's lots of ways to participate!

Cheer on swimmers completing an epic 3-week relay swim down the Fraser River with today's final leg from Port Moody's Rocky Point Park to Whey-ah-Wichen. A traditional canoe paddle and flotilla of boats will accompany the swimmers. Not to be outdone by sustainable transportation, cyclists are invited to bike from Rocky Point Park thru Burnaby, across Second Narrows Bridge, to Whey-ah-Wichen. A shuttle bus will bring people back from Whey-ah-Wichen to Rocky Point.

In recognition of Culture Days BC another way to participate is joining artists in a "draw-in" at the shore
