Meet the WIC Team

Tyra Bain

Tyra joined the WIC in 2021 after finishing her Bachelor's of Science degree in Marine Biology from the University of Victoria.

As Assistant Manager and Senior Interpreter, Tyra helps to manage the day-to-day operations of the WIC, train new staff, [[hold, conduct ]]] presentations and talks, and manages the WIC's online presence.

Education and conservation are two of Tyra's passions and the WIC allows her to do both. Marine mammal questions, ID mysteries, setting up new displays - she loves it all.

Tyra is dedicated to helping the Whale Interpretive Centre rebuild after the devastating fire of 2024 and is looking forward to the WIC 2.0. Guests visiting the Whale Shed can expect many stories of WIC 1.0 and marine mammal facts from Tyra this summer.
