A big thank you to VOCM Cares Foundation and Stephanie Korab for their incredible support of The Fluvarium over the years.

VOCM Cares has been a valued supporter of our organization for many years, helping us continue our mission of connecting people with nature and environmental education.

We are especially grateful to Stephanie for her years of dedication to The Fluvarium and for continuing to support our organization after her time on the Board!

❤Happy Funding Friday!❤

To commemorate VOCM's 90th anniversary, we're continuing with our special Staff Giving Initiative. For the first 9 months of the year, we will be making a monthly donation to a charity chosen by a member of the VOCM team - each one a cause close to their heart.

For the month of May, Stephanie Korab, Sales Manager with Stingray has selected The Fluvarium.

Stephanie is proud to have served on its board for almost 14 years, and could think of no better way to honor her time there than to advocate for its incredible work. For decades, The Fluvarium has been a special place in our community, teaching children and adults about our local environment. For Stephanie, this nomination is about recognizing an institution that has given so much to our community!

Stay tuned for more personal connections being shared as the VOCM Staff Giving Initiative continues.

🌿 World Wetlands Day at the Fluvarium – Feb 1 🌿
Join us as we celebrate the incredible role wetlands play in protecting biodiversity right here in our city!

We’re excited to welcome SEM who will be setting up a booth to share their work across the St. John’s watershed and highlight how interconnected wetlands support healthy ecosystems and vulnerable species like the American Eel and the Banded Killifish.

🐟 The Banded Killifish is listed as a Species of Special Concern under federal and provincial legislation. SEM documented this species in Quidi Vidi Lake during American Eel monitoring in 2022—an important reminder that urban wetlands matter.

In 2025, SEM completed field work for Population Assessment and Environmental DNA Analysis of Banded Killifish in Quidi Vidi Lake, using habitat studies, sediment and eDNA analysis, and mark-and-recapture surveys to better understand how wetlands support biodiversity.

💧 Come learn, explore, and celebrate wetlands with us on February 1 as part of World Wetlands Day!
🕛 Open 12:00–4:00pm | Regular admission applies
