Play Biodiversity Bingo in the Great Bear Sea

One game. One ocean. One chance to make protecting nature unforgettable.

Introducing Biodiversity Bingo: a free, family-friendly way to explore the magic of British Columbia’s coast and follow a once-in-a-lifetime expedition—one paddle stroke at a time.

Starting June 3rd, you’re invited on a journey with the Passage Paddle Expedition as they cruise through the breathtaking marine landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. 

The Journey: A Wild Race North

Five remarkable women.

One 575-kilometre kayaking expedition.

From Bauza Cove, B.C. to the Alaska border. Through kelp forests, past sea lion haul-outs, over ancient ocean trails.

You’re invited to go with them.

From the comfort of your home—or classroom, or campsite—you’ll track their adventure via live story maps and vlogs over the six weeks spent in the Great Bear Sea.

While they paddle, you play.

Your Mission: Get Bingo. Celebrate Biodiversity. Win a Prize.

As the expeditionists send in sightings of wildlife, weather, and West Coast wonders, your Bingo card comes to life.
