Good morning! This page is not active as we have closed Halifax Mermaids. But we do occasionally share events that the former merfolk are up to! If you want to visit with Raina the Halifax Mermaid she'll be swimming to the Huntsman Marine Science Centre soon! Information below.

The Huntsman Marine Science Centre is a private not-for-profit charity, registered in Canada in 1969.
