What is Ubin Day about?
Ubin Day is a ground-up initiative by those who love Pulau Ubin. As of today, 24 Organising Groups have stepped up to share about Ubin. More are expected to join in.

Ubin Day was first held in April 2002 organised by Grant Pereira with the Singapore Environment Council. There was a second Ubin Day in 2003 but none since then.

This is the first time in more than a decade that we are trying to do another Ubin Day! More about the first Ubin Day in Elements.

See you on Ubin Day!
