Birds on the Bay is an annual celebration focused on raising public awareness and knowledge of Boundary Bay's international designation as an Important Bird Area. This program identifies, protects and monitors a network of vital habitats for the conservation of bird populations and biodiversity around the world.  In 2005 Boundary Bay was designated a Western Hemispheric Reserve by the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network.

Boundary Bay, Canada's top bird area, is a major stop-over on the Pacific Flyway. Habitats of eelgrass beds, mud flats, estuaries, salt marshes, bogs and watercourses support more than 333 species, some rare and endangered.

Boundary Bay is situated 30 minutes south of Vancouver, British Columbia, site of the 2010 Winter Olympics and two hours north of Seattle, Washington in the Pacific Northwest. Communities within the Boundary Bay Watershed are the City of Surrey, Corporation of Delta, City of White Rock, Township of Langley and on the US side, Point Roberts, Blaine and Birch Bay.
