It was truly an honor to gather today to celebrate this incredible milestone—the 25th anniversary of the Whale Interpretive Centre.

In the heart of our small, beautiful town, we’ve witnessed firsthand how much this building has become not only just a museum as place of learning and discovery, but a cornerstone of our community as a whole.

Thanks to the hard work, passion, and vision of those who have supported it—our staff, volunteers, local businesses, and our surrounding communities—we have built something truly special.

As we celebrate this 25-year journey, let us continue to thrive and evolve, carrying forward the legacy of those who have contributed to its success.

*Today we acknowledged our past board members and distributed Certificates of Appreciation to our current board members, Local whale tours and to the Community of Pleasant Bay, for their continued support. As well as distributing Plaques commemorating our long-standing staff members, president and managers.

Happy World Whale and Dolphin Day!!!

On July 23rd whales and dolphins are celebrated, this day was declared in 1986 by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) with the aim of stopping their indiscriminate hunting and raising awareness of their crucial role in the health of the ocean and the planet.
