Dr. John Nightingale

Vancouver Aquarium


Dr. John Nightingale is the President and CEO of the Vancouver Aquarium. As a professional biologist and public educator, Dr. Nightingale has been responsible for the development and operation of some of the world’s best aquariums. His background and lifelong work in public communications, and both formal and informal public education make him a leader in the current rapid development of new conservation efforts in aquariums, zoos and museums. During his years at the Vancouver Aquarium, he has guided the expansion of the Aquarium’s leadership in conservation and research while focusing operations on sustainability and solid fiscal performance. As a result, the Vancouver Aquarium is not only one of the “greenest” cultural institutions in Canada, it is the only one that is financially self-sufficient.
