Marineland owner dies, 'succession plan' in place

Marineland’s owner, Marie Holer, has died.

- 

Holer took over the tourist attraction in Niagara Falls from her husband John Holer after he died in 2018.

“Her grace, kindness, and unwavering support were integral to the fabric of Marineland’s legacy,” the park said in a statement.

Marineland said the park “remains under strong leadership.”

“Our founder, anticipating life’s uncertainties, had put in place a robust succession plan to ensure the continuity of our operations,” Marineland said. “All our projects are progressing as planned.”

Marineland did not say who will inherit the keys. Last year, it was looking for a new owner to help transition the park to a new era.
