BC Rivers Day is an annual celebration of our province’s waterways! It’s a time to recognize the environmental, cultural, and recreational importance of rivers in British Columbia, and to promote their stewardship.
Celebrate BC Rivers Day with the Okanagan Science Centre and join our special Gold Panning Day, where you’ll learn some of the techniques used by prospectors to search for gold. We’ll be panning for pyrite — “fool’s gold” — and you can take home the sparkling treasures you discover. It’s a hands-on way to connect with the rich natural history of our rivers and have some fun along the way!
Date: September 27th, 2025
Cost: $5/per youth – adults attend free!
Registration is non-refundable. Adults must remain with youth participants during the workshop. General admission rates apply if entering the Okanagan Science Centre exhibit spaces.
