– A seminar stage on Friday and Saturday of the show with presentations from Canadian Olympic sailors, Georgia and Antonia Lewin-LaFrance and other local marine personalities.

– Discovery Centre Aquatic Touch Tank

– Back to the Sea Centre hosted activations for kids on Saturday

The show would also like to thank the over 30 young artists who participated in the colouring contest presented in partnership with The Discovery Centre. Luca, Age 3 / Brooklyn, Age 8 / Seungah, Age 9 are heading to the Centre to see the newest Dinosaur Explorer exhibit. 

Visitors also had the chance to win the show’s door prize: an X1 AquaPro Shark Towable courtesy of Quartermaster Marine. Congratulations to David from Herring Cove, NS who took home this prize.

The show will return in 2026. Stay tuned to the show’s website for announcements.
