First Beluga Migration to Yellowknife!

In preparation for a new Beluga whale exhibit, an actual-sized female and calf model arrived at the PWNHC on April 6, 2009. These beluga models travelled 6,337 kilometers, from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Yellowknife. The beluga exhibit is scheduled to open in June, 2009, the first of ten new dioramas to be developed at the PWNHC.
