Be a Part of Bay Day 2020!
We know you love the Bay everyday, but here’s a special opportunity to show it all through August.
As Guardians of the Bay we all share a deep appreciation for Georgian Bay and want to preserve and protect it so it can be enjoyed for generations to come. Bay Day is an annual initiative introduced by GBA where associations organize local events and activities to engage and educate the membership, celebrate, and spruce up the magnificent Georgian Bay we all care about.
Normally Bay Day is an event held on one day in the summer in areas up and down the Bay. With COVID-19 upon us, these larger celebrations are being scaled back, so this year we’re taking Bay Day in a different direction and making every day in August a Bay Day.
We invite you to come up with a fun activity for the members of your bubble that benefits the environment. Activities can include a shoreline cleanup around your cottage, on a local shoal, on crown land or at your favorite picnic spot. You can volunteer to remove some phragmites or help out a neighbour who can’t get to the Bay this summer. Be creative!
We want to celebrate your Bay Day! Email your photos, stories, and experiences to gba@georgianbay.ca and use #GBayDay2020 on social media to showcase your love. The Bay will thank you for it!
