Recognizing that the oceans, the wellspring of all life, nurture and provide a living
environment for all species;

Whereas the survival of all species and the planet are inextricably intertwined with the
health of ocean ecosystems;

Whereas the combined consequences of human induced environmental degradation and
overexploitation poses the greatest threat to the biological diversity and integrity of the seas;

And Whereas Canada, a maritime nation bordered by three oceans, has taken a prominent
role towards involving citizens anc’ intergovernmental commissions in strategies to protect,
enhance, and restore our ocean environment,

Now therefore I, Leonard M. Traboulay, Mayor of the Corporation of The City of Port
Coquitlam, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM Tuesday, June 8th, 1993 as

“OCEANS DAY”

in the City of Port Coquitlam and mandate that the United Nations flag be flown in our
municipality. In doing so, I call upon the residents of our municipality to celebrate the
importance and vitality of the oceans; and to act now by committing to being more active in
efforts to protect our ocean environment.
