Partners in this program are The Toronto Zoo, Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Canadian Fisheries and Oceans, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, PIJAC (Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, CAOAC (Canadian Association of Aquarium Clubs  and all affiliated local Aquarium Clubs which belong to CAOAC.
