Our students at BGPS would like to see Wikie & Keijo free & swimming in a natural environment here in the whale sanctuary in Nova Scotia. They all agree that whales do not belong in tanks. @onevoiceanimal @yrdsb @CamilleBrunel @Mister_Regina @AgnesRunacher @ZoocheckCanada

Our junior students have created media posters to support Wikie & Keijo, two orcas in France, to hopefully be retired to the Whale Sanctuary in Nova Scotia. Read their heartfelt messages. @onevoiceanimal @Whale_Sanctuary @ZoocheckCanada @AnimalJustice
