Imagine 2 large liquid brown eyes gazing upon yours. If the owner could speak, you would hear "Do you have a nice fresh fish for me, please?" It's time to visit the baby harbour seals at the Vancouver Aquarium's Marine Mammal Rescue Centre in Vancouver (MAIN STREET DOCK, north foot of Main Street - not the Vancouver Aquarium itself). Under the careful attention of the wonderful staff and many volunteers, seals are rescued, rehabilitated, and successfully released each year. They have even seen the occasional turtle, elephant seal, and harbour porpoise come by for a visit. You will have a tour of the facility and an explanation of the rehabilitation routine, and you will also have ample time to see and photograph the "patients". Believe me, they are very photogenic. Contact Jennifer Ingram to register at 604-942-9908 or jingram@surfnaked.ca. If you register and have to cancel, please advise as SPACE IS LIMITED to 15 persons. Suggested donation of $10.00 per adult 16+ years, $5.00 for others. All proceeds to the Marine Mammal Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre.  All persons taking part in this activity will NOT be permitted to visit the Vancouver Aquarium on the same day due to quarantine restrictions
