What are we doing?

Creating short compilation videos of people all along the west coast engaged in maritime activities of all sorts: traditional harvesting, recreational and commercial boating, canoeing, fishing, sailing, water sports, tourism and coastal transportation, and walking along the beach with your dog. Anything maritime, anywhere on the coast, would be a wonderful addition to this community video project and will enter the Museum Collection as a digital object.

Why participate?

To connect people, communities, and the ocean: whatever you’re doing, wherever you are on the coast!

How to participate:

1. Film a short video in vertical/portrait orientation of yourself or your group doing any maritime activity anywhere on the cost, and say: “We are westcoasters! This is our maritime!”

2. Fill out our submission form to let us know we can use your video; we won’t include your video in any aspect of the project without this permission. If you would rather keep your video and post it on your own account, hashtag it #WeAreWestcoasters so that we can share your post instead; we will then not include it in the Collection or use it in any other way.

3. Send the video by email to azanko@mmbc.bc.ca.
