The Aquarium de Quebec is part of the long list of establishments that will be closed during the 28 days of confinement announced by the Quebec government.

Eddy is alone in his enclosure at the moment, but the Aquarium would like to accommodate three more polar bears in the same space.
According to Simon Boivin, spokesperson for the Société des establishments de plein air du Québec (SÉPAQ), the configuration of several pavilions made it difficult to comply with the required sanitary measures.
“In light of the instructions, we found that it would not be possible to keep the Aquarium open so, from Thursday, at midnight, it will be closed,” said the spokesperson.
The closure will be in effect until October 28.
The other SÉPAQ sites remain open, but those located in areas designated as red are subject to several additional health rules.
