Prince of Whales and North Island Kayak are excited to announce their renewed partnership with Sea Smart.
They pledge to match donations made up to this year’s Giving Tuesday, providing a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $30,000. This initiative seeks to galvanize support for Sea Smart’s environmental education programs with Indigenous and vulnerable youth.
This sponsorship funds a week-long summer camp, two terms of after-school programs, and five school workshops, reaching up to 75 local Indigenous and vulnerable students. Staff engagement initiatives include a team-building session for Vancouver employees, reinforcing their commitment to ocean conservation and education. Prince of Whales’ staff will participate in the educational sessions to teach the youth about local wildlife, marine biology and the Salish Sea. Sea Smart extends an invitation to individuals and organizations alike to participate in this matching opportunity.
