Olympia (L-32) was named in 1983 as part of a contest in Victoria, B.C. to give names to all the whales in L pod. This contest was part of a campaign to stop a Canadian permit which would have allowed capture of the orcas for public display. Partly as a result of this effort, these whales are now protected from further captures in both the U.S. and Canada.
