One Ocean Film Tour Vol. 5

In connection to this year’s , get ready for a special collaboration between the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, Ocean Legacy, and the One Ocean Film Tour! Join us weekly for one-time only screenings of 2025’s short film programme, highlighting the beauty, diversity, and importance of our oceans, the marine life that inhabits them, and us.

First, take a guided trip through The Haunted Sea, as you travel from the shoreline to the deep ocean in our upcycled-plastic experience.

This special event will raise funds to support the important work of both the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Ocean Legacy Foundation in preserving our oceans and coastlines.
