About MASK

The Marine Aquarium Society of Kitchener was formed November 2001, in order to bring together marine hobbyists from the Golden Triangle (Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge) and surrounding areas.  Many hobbyists located west of Toronto were often unable to attend meetings for MAST (Marine Aquarium Society of Toronto) due to the distances involved; so it is that MASK has come to be.  As MASK is a sister club to MAST, The purpose of MASK is much the same:

MASK seeks to assist new hobbyists with responsible, ethical advice as well as to promote positive public understanding of the hobby. To educate wherever possible, focusing on reef conservation, responsible and sustainable collection practices and aquarium cultivation.

Gathering people together with a common interest has always been one of the best ways to share information and discuss both current and past issues in a common forum.  We hope that MASK will provide this forum for everyone interested in the marine aquarium hobby.  Please feel free to browse the site.  We welcome constructive feedback regarding the site and the club.  MASK meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month.  Please e-mail MASK if you require any further information.

The Marine Aquarium Society of Kitchener would like to recognize the efforts of Scott MacGregor and Wendy Irving in starting the club.  Sadly, due to increasing demands on their time,  they are no longer able to participate but we wish them the best and hope that they may become active members again in the near future.
