Canada's Great Lakes Aquarium

About Us

The concept for this project was originally conceived by Greg Munger in the early 90's. Various factors prevented moving beyond the concept stage for some time. John Neate began to work with Greg in 1996 and in 1999 Scott Stevens joined the team.

In June of 2000 Eco-Exhibits International was incorporated. The primary rationale for this was to provide the appropriate organizational structure for the promotion and realization of EEI's star project; Canada's Great Lakes Aquarium.
