Fin Free Vancouver

With the shark fin ban successfully passing in Toronto, it’s Vancouver's turn to take the reins by pushing for ban legislation. Not only does Vancouver have status as a world-renowned city for top quality cuisine, it is also striving to be the World's Greenest City by 2020. In addition to its national significance, a ban in Vancouver would send an important international message to jurisdictions like Hong Kong, where over half the world's shark fin is traded.

Shark Truth is a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to promoting awareness, education and action for sharks and around shark fin issues. Through their unique Happy Hearts Love Sharks wedding contest, 65 couples have pledged to protect sharks by not serving shark fin at their banquets, totalling to 9,500 bowls of shark fin soup diverted being from consumption (approximately 950 sharks).
