VANCOUVER, B.C. - The Vancouver Aquarium is offering Canadians a whale of an opportunity.

The aquarium has announced it's holding a naming contest for a baby beluga that was born in July. The aquarium says the name must reflect the Arctic origin of beluga whales, while also honouring Inuit culture and language.

The aquarium's other belugas are named Aurora, Imaq and Qila.

The person whose name is chosen will receive a one-of-a-kind baby beluga encounter, plus an annual family membership to the aquarium and a $200 certificate to the facility's gift shop.

Those who want to enter can do so at www.visitvanaqua.org and watch the aquarium's 24-hour beluga-cam at www.vanaqua.org/belugacam.
