A message from the Owner
We have a strong record of providing for the welfare of our animals and will continue to prioritize their health and wellbeing as a central focus of our mission. We are proud of the positive impact we’ve had on millions of visitors over the years and the positive contribution Marineland® continues to play in inspiring people to care about the animals we share the planet with.
It takes considerable resources to provide for the care and comfort of the animals who call Marineland® Canada home. Our dedicated employees are present at Marineland® every single day of the year doing what’s best for our animals, even though we’re open to the public for a few short months.
Marineland® Canada has and will continue to evolve with the times, inspired by my husband’s evolution of the park that brought us to where we are today.
We are in a transitional phase as Marineland® continues a new chapter without my husband’s presence. It is our plan to continue to build on his legacy and ensure Marineland® Canada remains relevant going into the future.
We look forward to sharing more with members of the public about our exciting plans for Marineland® Canada, and want to ensure your readers rest assured that each and every animal who calls Marineland® Canada home is loved, well cared for and their best interests will forever guide our decisions regarding their care.
I continue to be so proud of the hundreds of people from our community that work to make Marineland® such a welcoming place for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who visit the Niagara region to spend time with us. That commitment to our employees and the community will not change.
I am confident that Marineland® will continue to evolve and flourish into the future.
Mrs. Marie Holer
Marineland Canada
