2011 BC Rivers Day: Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

Celebrate BC Rivers Day in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland - observed on the last Sunday of every September - at events and activities being held across the region to create awareness of our precious watersheds including British Columbia's largest river, the Fraser River, which flows 1,375 kilometres through the Province to meet the Pacific Ocean. Celebrate BC Rivers Day with community festivals, tree planting and shore clean ups or just enjoy the beauty of the region's waterways which in part make up British Columbia's famous spectacular natural setting.
