Fediverse community for the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre!

This is currently an unofficial community. If any VAMMR staff members want to take over this community, I'm more than happy to transfer it over :)

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society (VAMMR) is a global leader in marine mammal rescue, research, and rehabilitation. [They] respond to over 300 marine mammal emergencies each year and operate Canada's only dedicated marine mammal hospital facility.

The MMRS was posting about the award competition for a while there, so I'm glad to see that they got it. They do good work in our waters (as do many of the other nominees I assume), so hopefully the vehicle and money will help them do more.

TLDR of the relevant parts:

  • Award winners were announced across six categories [...]
  • The Defender brand [...] awarded a customized Defender 130 vehicle and $30,000 to each of the six charitable organizations [...]
  • [...] CHASE contributed $5,000 to each of the 30 category finalists, [...]

The link in the post has information about the other winners
