Hey Ocean lovers, we need your help! 🌊

Give Where You Live is an exciting giving campaign that empowers you to join others in our community in supporting a select group of local charities. Ocean Ambassadors Canada is one of the 8 selected charities participating in this year’s campaign.

We are raising funds for the Pickup3 project which is part of a growing movement launched so that every one of us can play our part in protecting our ocean, lakes, rivers, forests and more. Our goal is to grow this movement so that everyone across our country picks up at least 3 pieces of garbage each time they are in nature. A habit for all Canadians!

We hope that you will consider donating to Ocean Ambassadors’ PickUp3 program through the Give Where You Live campaign. Your donation will support our team to provide education workshops at schools, events, and beaches throughout our community. Your donation will be matched by funds from the West Vancouver Foundation, doubling your giving!

All of us at Ocean Ambassadors Canada are incredibly grateful to TELUS TELUS Friendly Future Foundation for supporting us to spread PickUp3 to Northern Vancouver Island elementary schools! With this grant we can empower students to make change, connect with nature, build relationships, and work together to make the world a better place!

It was so fun meeting all of the students and staff at Brooke Elementary! Lots of interesting questions asked and discussions had - have you thought about how your trash gets to the beach?

We had a great day visiting the students and staff at Hawthorne Elementary School in Delta yesterday to share the movement.
During our workshop we discussed ocean health, marine pollution and showed students how something that seems like a small action that one person can do can actually make a really big difference when lots of people are taking part as a community - have you used our PickUp3 Trash Meter to log your collection count?

Great turn out at Boundary Bay Park today. We@picked up 750+ pieces of trash on the beach. Thanks team for joining us! 🌊💙
