Sat May 30-31, 2pm - Saugeen SojournWe are thrilled to launch the 2026 EcoAdventures multi-day program: Saugeen Sojourn. Developed in partnership with Indigenous guides from Cape Croker Park and Anishinabe Cultural Experiences, this program is more than just a camping trip—it’s a journey into the stories, ecology, and culture of the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula. Before we open bookings to the general public, we are looking for a small group of "Friends & Family" to help us pilot the experience and Smile! We'll be capturing some marketing photos along the way! As a participant in this trial run, you’ll be among the first to stay in our new canvas tents and test-drive our weekend itinerary. Your feedback will be essential in helping us perfect this program for future groups and visitors. |

Jul 17-19, 2026 ~ PADI Women Dive DayGet ready to make a splash for conservation! In celebration of PADI Women’s Dive Day, the Biosphere Association is partnering with Dive Life Tobermory to host an immersive three-day regional fundraiser in the depths of Fathom Five National Marine Park. This weekend isn’t just about diving; it’s about Citizen Science.

Highlights include a deep dive into Lake Huron’s "hidden" biodiversity with ecologist Jenna McGuire, hands-on workshops in underwater sketching, and specialized missions to document marine life using iNaturalist. Whether you are a certified scuba diver, a snorkeler, or a curious landlubber, you’ll be contributing directly to local conservation. From our "Waves of Change" reception to our closing debrief, this event is designed to build confidence, foster stewardship, and connect a community passionate about protecting our vibrant turquoise waters. Certified Scuba Divers - $450 Snorkelers - $125 All profits from the excursions offered by Dive Life Tobermory are generously donated back to Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association to directly support conservation projects on the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula.
