    Harbour Porpoise

    The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is the smallest cetacean found in Canada. Members of the toothed whale family (Odontoceti), these cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are close relatives of the Dall’s porpoise, sometimes mating and producing hybrids; however, harbour porpoises are shyer and less commonly seen despite living in coastal areas. They rarely approach vessels to play in their bow waves like other porpoises. A nickname for these animals is “puffing pigs” due to the loud exhale that can be heard when they surface for air.

    Harp

    The harp is prized as much for its expressive range and gentle textures as for its elegant appearance. The instrument is heard not only in the performance of classical music, but has increasingly become an integral part of Celtic and folk music performances in Canada and elsewhere. Canadian orchestras frequently feature the harp, and Canadian composers have written numerous new works for harp.
