The Wayfinders Program

Project Status
Still in development
Project Description
New Venture
The Wayfinders program is an innovative approach to alternate energy education. It involves a group of youth using only the power of their bodies on land and the wind on board a schooner to transport a load of South Shore produced cargo to Halifax to sell at market. By modelling change in the shipping of goods, participants learn that change is possible within their own lives. More information: https://windship.ca

Benefits to the Community
The Wayfinders Program can educate young people and the community about the value of wind-powered zero emissions transportation and sustainability in general. It may also create opportunities to bring low-carbon goods to new markets.
