Canadian Waters

Canada is famous all over the world for its breathtaking landscapes and resident wildlife, but its waters are an even greater treasure trove of extraordinary habitats and animals.As you explore the Canadian Waters gallery, you will journey from coast to coast via freshwater wildernesses, fisheries and kelp forests. Take in the impressive biodiversity of the Great Lakes – they account for 20 per cent of the world’s fresh water and are an essential part of Canada’s freshwater habitat. And with three oceans to choose from, it’s no wonder our marine habitats are home to such a variety of flora and fauna.

Rainbow Reef

Rainbow Reef beautifully recreates the warm and inviting coral seas of the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Here you can enjoy the kaleidoscope of fish that flash around their idyllic home, and learn more about their precious but endangered habitats.Sometimes called rainforests of the sea, coral reefs are rich in life, with a variety of organisms that is rarely equaled.

Ray Bay

As you continue your journey, you will stumble upon Ray Bay, one of our most popular galleries, featuring four species of stingray and one species of shark!Here at Ray Bay you can see how some rays use their flattened bodies and large, modified pectoral fins like wings to “fly” through the water.
