Coming together to celebrate our ocean

With due regard for the health and safety of our communities, Oceans Week HFX will be postponing events this year due to the extended lockdown in Mi’kma’ki / Nova Scotia. While this has been a difficult decision, it’s imperative for us to support the provincial health orders and directions, and ask folks to stay safe and stay home. The most important thing all of us can do is to focus on being kind, patient, and helping one another with the challenges we’re facing.

We acknowledge that we are all collectively experiencing the effects of the global pandemic, and recognize the detrimental impacts this most recent lockdown is having on our community members, especially small business owners. Our communities are the foundation of OWHFX in creating and hosting events to help celebrate World Ocean Day, and we do not wish to put anyone in harm’s way. Thankfully, there are many online events and resources to celebrate WOD nationally and globally this year, and we encourage everyone interested to visit @worldoceanday at www.worldoceanday.org for more information and to register today!

We would like to give a special shout out to our communities, partners, and companies for your ongoing support and resilience during this unprecedented time. We can’t wait to see you all again for OWHFX 2022 as a reimagined event that will bring us all together to engage, celebrate, and advocate for ocean health and human wellbeing.

Sincerely, and stay safe,

Oceans Week HFX
