About Port Day

The United Nations created World Maritime Day in 1978, and events are held annually to recognize the maritime industry’s contribution to shipping safety, maritime security, and the conservation of the marine environment around the world. Canada Place has hosted Port Day in honour of this since 2022.

The World Maritime Day theme for 2025, Our Ocean, Our Obligation, Our Opportunity, reflects the ocean’s vital role in the world economy, with more than 80% of global trade transported by sea. The ocean is a source of jobs and food for millions of people, a home for countless marine species, and a regulator of the planet’s climate, mitigating the impacts of climate change. 

Follow Canada Place for event updates and more community information throughout the year.
