CONFERENCES AND OTHER EVENTS
|
|
Back to the Sea Society will only be able to accommodate a limited number of portable touch tank events in 2019.
Please send your booking inquiries to info@backtothesea.ca. |
Standard Setup
We typically show up to events with the following:
- One touch tank filled with local intertidal species (e.g. sea stars, urchins, snails, mussels, hermit crabs, etc.)
- One sandy-bottom tank showcasing scallops, moon snails, clams and sand dollars (we do not guarantee all these species)
- A variety of naturalized specimens with magnifying glasses for close-up observations
- Plush toys
Our knowledgeable and passionate volunteers remain with the touch tanks to interpret the animals and engage with visitors.
Short presentations may also be offered.
If you have a specific idea in mind, please do not hesitate to contact us. If it supports our mission and values, we will do what we can to accomodate!
Cost
Cost is dependent on the type of event and its location. The standard fee for a 2-3 hour event within 30mins of Downtown Dartmouth is $500.
As a charitable organization, we do our best to keep costs to a minimum. All booking payments are invested back into the Society. Payments and donations are used to better our current programming or are put towards the future creation of the Back to the Sea Aquarium.
If you are a non-profit, we will consider doing your event for for a reduced fee if our resources allow it.
