Canadian Press published its revelations on Thursday after receiving documents through access to information requests.
Marineland, which opened in 1961, is also home to land animals including bears, bison, elk and deer, according to its website.
Earlier this year, the province charged Marineland over failing to provide adequate enclosures and water access to its three black bears.
The former Marineland employee and whistleblower Phil Demers spent a decade trying to free Smooshi, a walrus he had previously trained and had since plotted to steal because of concerns over her health and safety.
“We have a strong record of providing for the welfare of our animals and will continue to prioritize their health and wellbeing as a central focus of our mission,” reads a website post signed by Marie Holer, who took over the park after her husband and Marineland’s founder died in 2018.
Wayne Gates, a member of provincial parliament in Niagara Falls, told the Canadian Press the time has come to repurpose Marineland.
