The North Atlantic Right Whale (Youth)

In honour of Canada's 150th, we present to you the North Atlantic Right Whale! These extremely rare whales spend the summer in Canadian waters. For thousands of years, whales have provided Indigenous peoples with food and tools. It was of such importance that one of the beliefs of the Mi’kmaq people is that the whale is the master of life in the sea. Once much more common, there are only about 500 of them left on Earth. We all need to work together to ensure this massive marine mammal is around for generations to come.
