The Atlantic Voices Mascot is a Newfoundland Dog named ‘SS Maritime Atlantiika’, a.k.a. “Tiika”. Tiika was born July 18th, 2007. As is common of her breed, Tiika loves people, especially children, and is very gentle. Like many of the Atlantic Voices choir members, Tiika’s genes go back to the island of Newfoundland. Her ancestors loved the sea and the people of the island. These strong waterdogs were loyal and loving companions who worked very hard on shore and at sea. They pulled in fishing nets, delivered mail, and hauled logs from the forests. They often served as ‘living lifelines’, rescuing people from the sea. Tiika is proud to be the Mascot of Atlantic Voices and hopes that you will love the songs of the sea as much she does!Please click here to read our former mascot Bonnie's memorial page.
