Oceans Day!

June 8th is World Oceans Day.  The City of Surrey is having a special celebration on Sunday and it's free to join in the fun. Parents and children can explore all summer long!  Take a trip to one of our local beaches. Check out the tide chart to see when the tide is lowest and you'll be able to do your own scavenger hunt for crabs, shells, rocks and different kinds of seaweed.  Who knows what you'll find!  Remember to maintain the habitat for any creatures you find.  If you turn over a rock to look for crabs, turn it back when you are finished looking.  If left exposed to the sun, little creatures living on the rocks will die.  And don't take any living creatures home with you.  Their home is the ocean and that's where they need to stay.  Let's all do our part to keep the oceans clean and healthy for the animals that live there.

Check out what Surrey Public Library has on ocean life.
Here's a great site on summer activities for kids to do with their parents.  There are many great book suggestions too!
