World's Ocean Day Film Screening:

CHASING CORAL

What

To Expect

To mark Patagonia's 50th year, we’re looking forward to life on Earth, not back. Join us at Patagonia Toronto to celebrate World's Ocean Day with a screening of Chasing Coral, a production of Exposure Labs, and a panel discussion with experts in the field.

Coral reefs around the world are vanishing at an unprecedented rate. We need to defend the future of the ocean—because if we don’t do it, nobody will. We need to protect the waters that have always nurtured us.

In Chasing Coral, a team of divers, photographers, and scientists set out on a thrilling ocean adventure to discover why and to reveal the underwater mystery to the world.

When: Thursday, June 8, 2023
Where: Patagonia Toronto, 500 King Street West
Time: 7 PM - 10 PM

Proceeds from our "Enter to Win" will be shared with Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction and Coral Reef Conservation at Wildlife Conservation Society.

Ocean Week Canada

Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition

Ocean Week Canada is an annual national celebration of ocean events, learning, and engagement. The Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition coordinates a multi-partner,
collaborative program of national events and activities held during the week of World Ocean Day. Community-scale events taking place across the country are also amplified and supported through the Ocean
Week Canada website and the network of partner communications. They work together, from coast to coast to coast, to engage Canadians in ocean learning, celebration, and action. We recognize the important role the ocean plays in our everyday lives and the lives of future generations.
