Outcome:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

10% increase in membership sales over the same period <strong>of</strong> the previous year<br />

70% <strong>of</strong> Science Centre visitors entered the exhibition (as this was not a separately‐ticketed<br />

exhibition, there are no attendance numbers to compare to similar past exhibitions)<br />

We anticipated 50 participants to the ceremony, 25 from each country. Some 150 attended. All<br />

were impressed by the richness <strong>of</strong> the ceremony and were pleased to have participated.<br />

The following are examples <strong>of</strong> feedback received from top‐tier media:<br />

“We’re learning so much here at this [exhibition] . . . an amazing opportunity to learn about these<br />

magnificent mammals.”<br />

‐Anwar Knight, CTV News<br />

“When you are given the chance to visit the treasures <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the world’s largest and most important<br />

whale collections, you should take it . . . Whales|Tohorā is an impressive display <strong>of</strong> science and<br />

discovery.”<br />

‐Kris Abel, CTV.ca
