Vancouver to celebrate Water Day
Water is, as we all know, a vital resource and it will be celebrated soon in Vancouver with a special event.
The city is hosting an event at the Water Resources Education Center to honor World Water Day, which is celebrated to increase awareness of the importance of freshwater, both for animals (including humans) and for ecosystems. The subject of this year’s event centers on preserving glaciers. People will learn the impact glaciers have on freshwater systems, and how people can save glaciers by taking action to mitigate the effects of climate change. Organizations sponsoring educational events like this may use flyer printing to create handouts for visitors.
The event is suitable for everyone in the family, and features an interactive art project, hands-on activities, and guided nature walks from the center to the nearby Columbia River.
For this unusual celebration, the Exhibit Hall at the Water Center will be open throughout the event. The nature walks are about 45 minutes in length and will be ongoing all afternoon, beginning at 1.30 pm. Sign-ups are first-come, first-served, and space on the walks is limited. The walks are suitable for everyone six and older, and participants can expect to cover varied types of terrain including paved pathways, muddy wetlands, sandy beaches, and uneven ground. The walks are approximately two miles in length.
World Water Day is March 22, and the center is at 4600 SE Columbia Way in Vancouver. The celebration is from 1.00 pm until 4.00 pm. Anyone who is interested may stop by the center without registering.
