With the busy summer tourist season in Niagara Falls, Ont., weeks away, Marineland says it still hasn’t decided if it will open this year.
The beleaguered aquarium told CBC Hamilton in an email Tuesday “no final decision has been made.”
“As Marineland has repeatedly publicly stated, we continue to be actively engaged in a sale process and transition to new ownership,” said the statement from the marketing department.
“The long-term health and welfare of the animals remains Marineland’s priority in the transition process.”
As of Tuesday, its main phone number wasn’t working, its Facebook page was taken down and its website made no mention of its reopening date.
This time last year, its reopening date of June 28 was already posted to its website, according to internet archives.
