Each month, 100% of our offering plate (unless otherwise noted) is donated to a non-profit organization whose mission is in line with our values. We call this “Outreach”.
During the month of April, our Outreach recipient is Ocean Wise.
Eight years ago, the Vancouver Aquarium expanded to become Ocean Wise, a global conservation organization focused on protecting and restoring our world's oceans. They do this by improving marine habitat and capturing carbon by monitoring and restoring kelp, tackling plastic and chemical pollution, ocean noise, and organizing shoreline clean up events.
They also work to protect whales by minimizing the negative effects of human activities, such as commercial fishing and shipping on their ability to communicate, navigate, forage, and reproduce.
You may donate to our Outreach Collection for Ocean Wise anytime during the month of April by dropping your donation into the offering plate — or using another payment option clearly marked as “Outreach”.
