Join the Canadian Wildlife Federation and friends for a Totally Wild Webinar

Damian Foxall, winner of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011 and ambassador of the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) will host on February, 6th, the first “Totally Wild” Webinar. The project called The Build reflects the Sail Québec strategy to develop a provincial sailing education program with a cross-curricular learning strategy. Key supporters of the project include the Ecovoile Baie-des-Chaleurs sailing school. Through this project, youth will come to appreciate the Regatta emphasis of learning rather than winning while mastering new skills and a deeper understanding of racing rules of sailing, codes of conduct and conservation.

A film documentary about this project is also planned. For more information about CWF’s role visit WildAboutSports.ca
 
Date: Friday, February 6th, 2015
