Marineland’s request for funds to care for belugas ‘inappropriate,’ Fisheries Minister says

October 6, 2025

Marineland’s request for emergency funding from Ottawa, in a letter that warned 30 belugas at the park will otherwise be euthanized, is “inappropriate,” Fisheries Minister Joanne Thompson said Monday.

The Niagara Falls, Ont., tourist attraction made the request Friday with a deadline of Tuesday after Thompson denied Marineland permits to move Canada’s last captive whales to an aquarium in China.
