The Vancouver Aquarium will be celebrating accessibility on Saturday December 6. I have included a little bit of information about the event, a link to our website and an electronic poster that can be printed and posted on a community board.
We will have all of our usual accessible services offered and the following additions:
American Sign Language interpreters will be at all of our marine mammal and dive shows.
The Wet Lab will be open every hour so guests can experience our aquatic world through touch
Extra volunteers will be onsite to interact with guests and showcase a variety of props in the galleries
Visitors who are blind or have low vision can also pre-book descriptive tours
The CAN Van will also be on-site! The CAN Van Interactive Autism Exhibit is a mobile display that is engaging, fun and welcoming to all ages. The goal of the CAN Van is to educate the public about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) while spreading autism awareness.
