Aquarium of Niagara
Aquarium of Niagara
They say, “There are plenty of fish in the sea,” but sadly there are now less than ever. Which is why it’s so great that The Aquarium of Niagara is hosting “Oceanda: The Taste of Sustainability,” on November 14th. “Oceanda” will feature environmentally friendly dishes prepared by favorite local chefs. All proceeds will go directly back to the care of their animals, including more than 120 species, many of which were rescued by the Aquarium of Niagara and deemed non-releasable. Couples who participate in charitable acts are 78% more likely to stay together so do something good for our community and our planet and get your tickets to this amazing event!
