How well do you know your neighbourhood? Your neighbours?

Join environmental educator and marine biologist Stephanie Chong as you learn how Victoria’s strong connection to the water gives it unique histories, cultures, and ecosystems that defines its past, current, and future resilience.

Then get an up-close look at some of the creatures that call the intertidal zone their home, discuss how we are connected to the natural world, and re-consider how we interact with the outdoors. Leave feeling empowered with new knowledge about your marine neighbours and how to be a better neighbour yourself.

This experience includes admission into the Maritime Museum of BC.
