WILD ABOUT SPRING TRAINING

Kids help train and feed the animals, March 11-19

Vancouver, BC: Richmond schoolchildren from Manoah Steves Elementary visited the Vancouver Aquarium today for a special preview of Spring Break activities.

Back by popular demand, "Spring Training" is going to be bigger and better than ever before. Every day during Spring Break, more than 15 kids aged six to 13 will be chosen by random draw to help feed and train the animals at the beluga, dolphin and sea lion shows—some may even get a bit wet!

Also, during Spring Break, children's performers Bobs & Lolo will be performing sing-along songs from their CD "Sea Notes" twice daily. And kids can play Bee Bop Beluga Bingo for a chance to win splashy prizes!

Spring Break activities will take place every day from March 11 to March 19.
