November marks national Ocean Wise Month, and in honour of this important cause, the Vancouver Aquarium is hosting a special charitable event on Monday, November 18 called the Chowder Chowdown at the Hyatt Regency Calgary. Events will also be hosted in other locations across Canada, including Vancouver and Toronto.
The aim is to raise awareness for sustainable seafood, and overfishing, which is the single biggest threat that our oceans face today. Ocean Wise is a Vancouver Aquarium conservation program created to educate and empower consumers about the issues surrounding sustainable seafood. They work directly with restaurants, markets, food services and suppliers ensuring that they have the most current scientific information regarding seafood and helping them make ocean-friendly buying decisions.
An amazing lineup of incredibly talented local chefs has been assembled to compete in the soon to be infamous Chowder Chowdown! Here’s the roster:
