Job's not done: 100,000+ face masks sold in just over a week for Vancouver Aquarium

In just over a week since joining forces with the Vancouver Aquarium to help preserve the beloved civic landmark, Whitecaps FC have now sold over 100,000 face masks.

"We are overwhelmed by the community’s support,” said Lasse Gustavsson, president and CEO of Ocean Wise. “Every mask sold helps the Vancouver Aquarium care for our animals and ensure our ocean conservation, animal rescue, education and research work can continue. Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased face masks—and a huge thank you to the Whitecaps!”

"It's been a phenomenal effort from everyone involved. It speaks volumes about the community spirit in Vancouver and across Canada," added Whitecaps FC CEO Mark Pannes.
