World Rivers Day

Today we’re recognizing World Rivers Day, a celebration of our planet’s waterways. The event branched off in 2005 from its source, BC Rivers Day, which has been observed by British Columbians since 1980. The annual event is now celebrated on the fourth Sunday of September by millions of people in more than 100 countries. It is a day that raises public awareness about rivers around the world and encourages their conservation.
