This historic initiative will protect Canada’s ocean and coastal ecosystems for generations to come.

On Tuesday, 8 November, Jonathan Wilkinson, Member of Parliament for North Vancouver and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, visited ONC to speak to the announcement of the new Oceans Protection Plan and how it relates to Victoria and...

The same Big Science that provides scientists and leaders with tools to understand our changing ocean is also offered with a local flavour to educate and engage our own community.
