Federal government still has to approve the idea in Nova Scotia
Some of Marineland's beluga whales could have a home next year.
The Nova Scotia government has given a U-S-based Whale Sanctuary Project approval to build a proposed 40-hectare enclosure on the province's eastern shore.
The project's executive director says it could hold up to 10 of Marineland's 30 belugas.
But no whales or dolphins will be moved until the federal government approves it.
