WELCOME
Hello and welcome to the St. Catharines and Area Aquarium Society website. The aim of this site is to give information to our members and to the curious public about our great aquarium club. There are many great aquarium clubs that have great aquarium websites, we thought it was our turn! We hope this site will improve membership by giving another means of advertising our club events.
We have a lot to offer anyone interested in aquariums. At our monthly meetings, we have guest speakers, mini-auctions (where you can buy or sell tanks, fishes and plants, or tank, fish, and plant accessories), jar shows, raffles, refreshments and a great opportunity to ask aquarium questions. Memberships are inexpensive and include a monthly newsletter "The SCAT", with articles by hobbyists, and dates of upcoming events in Canada and the U.S.
We have a new president this year who is very enthusiastic about his position. We have great executives and a great supporting committee committed to their role. If you have questions please e-mail or call us from the list below.
Thanks and have a great day!
