IN-PERSON PROGRAM
Celebrate Ocean Week (June 1-8) in Stanley Park! In this free hands-on intro session with Water Rangers, participants get to try a suite of water testing tools used by community scientists monitoring lakes, rivers, and ocean sites across Canada. We’ll measure dissolved oxygen, air and water temperature, water clarity using a Secchi disc, and key chemical parameters including pH, hardness, nitrate, and nitrite using test strips including a salinity meter to explore what makes marine and freshwater environments so distinct. No experience needed, just curiosity about the water around you.

ABOUT WATER RANGERS
Water Rangers is a small Canadian nonprofit building water monitoring tools and open data systems so communities can collect trustworthy water data and put it to use. From lakes and rivers to ocean shorelines, we work with Indigenous communities, watershed groups, schools, and volunteers across Canada to help people answer the question that matters most: is my water healthy?

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
