Meet Sam, one of our naturalists and a member of our award-winning education team! Although Sam grew up between two Great Lakes in Ontario, a passion for the ocean was sparked by his family’s love of travel when he saw his first whale off Nova Scotia. He’s since watched whales in Alaska, Hawaii, Iceland, Argentina, New Zealand and Norway. After earning a Fish and Wildlife Diploma and an Ecosystem Management Diploma from Sir Sanford Fleming College in Ontario, he moved to Halifax to work for the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Change. The gorgeous Atlantic Coast fuelled his passion for a bigger voice in conservation. He’s found that voice at Eagle Wing, where he’s helping to introduce thousands of people—including schoolchildren—to the spectacular wildlife of the Salish Sea!
