More than 1.2 million dollars has been raised so far in a fundraising campaign by the Vancouver Whitecaps to save the Vancouver Aquarium.

The soccer team has been selling face masks featuring logos from the team and aquarium, and the club says they have been sold to buyers in every province.

The aquarium, home to 50,000 animals, is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is losing as much as 3.3-million-dollars a month.
