BANNED.

Its official: The sale and consumption of shark fin has been banned in Toronto. This may come as sad news to some, but a reason to celebrate for many! Councillor De Baereamaker and Councillor Won-Tam were thrilled after the Committee Meeting, October 25th, since they have been fighting long and hard to ensure the safety of our sharks.

Many people showed their support for the ban by deputing to council members, protesting in front of city hall and by simply advocating for the cause as it generated awareness. What a wonderful accomplishment - Sharks all over the world are applauding :)
