Project Themes
As we begin to implement and advance the Canadian Ocean Literacy Strategy, our current projects and joint action fall under these three themes:

Community Microgrant Program
Collective efforts to establish an ocean literacy community microgrant program are underway.

Ocean Week Canada
Ocean Week Canada is an annual national celebration of ocean events, learning, and engagement.

Coastal Connection Challenge
This workshop series is co-designing an engaging and inclusive campaign to mobilize Canadian youth, increase awareness of the Ocean Decade, why it matters, and how to get involved.

Blue Schools Canada
In June 2021, the All-Atlantic Blue Schools Network (AA-BSN) was formally launched.

Blue Futures Pathways
Blue Futures Pathways, led by the Students on Ice Foundation, connects youth across Canada with education, employment, and funding opportunities to inspire and support them in developing successful careers in the Sustainable Blue Economy.

Stories for Stream2Sea
Canadians from coast to coast to coast are invited to share stories of their connection with the ocean and how this connection may be changing.

Ocean Literacy Research Community
COLC served as the lead applicant and co-organizer of the Developing a Global Ocean Literacy Research Program satellite activity at the first UN Ocean Decade Laboratory: An Inspiring & Engaging Ocean which took place on July 7-8th, 2021.
