Planning Sail Canada Long Term Development

December 14, 2022

More than 20 leaders representing disciplines of sailing across Canada gathered in Toronto, Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 5 and 6, to pursue the revision of Sail Canada Long Term Development in sailing framework. 

With this new framework, Sail Canada is looking to:

  • enable sailors to easily see pathway progressions, as well as connections and cross between pathways;
  • to transfer and broadly apply sailing skills.
  • to enable clubs and schools’ flexibility to offer programs outside established pathways.
  • to enable instructors and coaches to transfer their teaching skills across platforms.
  • and to establish a unified programming language, structure and branding.

The work will continue in the upcoming year with the launch of this revised Long Term Development in sailing framework under one intentional brand.

One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
