flag Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls for urgent action on Marineland’s failing conditions, citing 20 cetacean deaths since 2019 and pushing relocation amid ongoing inspections and federal review.

flag Ontario Premier Doug Ford called Marineland’s conditions “terrible” amid ongoing concerns for 30 beluga whales, the last captive cetaceans in Canada, after 19 beluga and one killer whale deaths since 2019. flag The park, closed since September 2024 and up for sale, has faced over 200 inspections and 33 compliance orders, with unresolved issues on water quality and enclosure conditions. flag Ford said the province is exploring relocation options, including potential export to China or a Nova Scotia sanctuary, while the federal government reviews Marineland’s export permit request. flag The province continues to inspect the facility and urges swift federal action, as high feeding costs raise concerns about sustainability. flag Critics accuse Ford of delayed action despite years of known problems.
