Ecologos is a 23-year registered environmental charity protecting water and a liveable climate. Our signature program, the Water Docs Film Festival, has been such a success over its 9 year history that we are now better known simply as Water Docs. This program has also created the impetus to spin off four other related programs: the Water Docs Where You Live Community Screenings program; the Water Docs at School Action Projects program; Common Earth, a base-camp training program for change agents; and ReSurge: Canadian Film Festivals for a Liveable Climate.
Dive a little deeper and read about who we are, what we do and how we do it.
For our 10th anniversary, Water Docs is gathering together film festivals from across Canada to jointly produce a high-impact festival called ReSurge: Canadian Film Festivals for a Liveable Climate. Pooling the strengths and reach of several festivals aims at recovering the pre-COVID momentum of public sentiment favouring strong action to avert climate catastrophes. This six-day online event will take place later this year from November 9 to 14.

OUR MISSION
To evoke a spirit of reverence for water.
To inform about threats that imperil water.
To inspire citizen action to protect water
and its many effects on climate change.
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
As World Ocean Day approaches (Sunday, June 8, 2025), Canadians have a unique opportunity to reflect on the incredible role oceans play in our daily lives and the health of the planet. For Canada, whose geography is defined by its extensive marine borders, this day holds exceptional significance. Bordered by the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic Oceans, and with over 243,000 kilometres of coastline, the longest of any country, Canada's environment, economy, and cultural identity are deeply entwined with the health of its marine ecosystems.
