Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada aims to foster a culture of sustainability that supports the environmental protection and conservation goals of the organization and the greater public, while building a strong legacy of ecological stewardship.
The Aquarium participates in many different programs, initiatives, and charitable donations that contribute to marine conservation onsite, in the community and internationally. Some programs include our bi-annual Shoreline Cleanups, banning the use of straws and lids in our facility and promoting the reduction of plastic pollution, annual Lionfish Invitational in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, and donating to like-minded local charities such as the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre and Lake Ontario Waterkeeper.
With educational experiences offered onsite daily such as our Dive Shows, Aquarist Talks and our new Discovery Dive – where 10% of proceeds are donated directly to the Shark Research Institute – we hope that after guests experience our facility, they will be educated about current marine issues and inspired to help.
