If you knew there was a resource that has been proven to help ensure a healthier heart and immune system, reduce stress, increase brain power, and improve overall well being, what would you do? What if I told you that this resource already exists and you have free access to it?Â

In the heart of Vancouver, you’ll find one of the most popular urban areas to explore by foot, bike, or boat, False Creek. This is a special location to all Vancouverites, one that hosts popular sites along its shores such as the Seawall, Granville Island, and Science World. But to us here at Fraser Riverkeeper, it acts as a unique marine ecosystem that we get to work and play at as we sample the waters of False Creek year-round to provide accessible water quality data.
Our volunteers participate in shoreline cleanups and get trained as citizen scientists so they can help keep the public informed about local water quality. Sign up today!
Swim Guide is a free website and mobile app that helps you easily find your closest beaches, know which ones are clean for swimming, and report pollution concerns.
Your donations help us to improve our programs and work with authorities to safeguard public access to swimmable, drinkable, and fishable water in B.C.
We monitor the water quality in False Creek year-round, ensuring that Vancouverites have recreational water quality information no matter the season.
The Watermark Project is a community effort to collect and archive true stories about the ways people interact with water, with the goal of archiving one story from every Canadian household.
The Vancouver Plastic Cleanup brings Seabins to Vancouver's waters, using trash trapping technology to skim and filter the water 24/7.Â
