River Basin Days: Colourful Creations

River Basin Days is a series of outdoor public programs for families. Join us at different locations around the Fraser River Basin as we explore this incredible watershed! Our staff will guide you through one hour of activities as we learn about the biodiversity of this great river.

What happens when you mix blue with yellow, or red with purple? From the deep greens of leaves to the soft blues of the sky and the rich browns of the earth, nature presents a stunning palette of hues. This month, we are headed to Burnaby Lake Regional Park, located in Burnaby, to observe the colours found in nature by making our own paint and using it to create a nature painting!

This event will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather. 

Registration cost includes admission to the Fraser River Discovery Centre. Pay when you register for this workshop, and the next time you visit the Centre in-person, you will be admitted for free.
