In collaboration with the Nova Scotia Yachting Association (NSYA), Jacqueline Gahagan, professor with Dalhousie’s School of Health and Human Performance, and Brenda Merritt, with the School of Occupational Therapy, organized the annual WOW! – Women on Water silent auction and fundraising event last month at the Garrison Brewery.
The money raised contributes to the ongoing establishment of three permanent bursaries – The Youth Sailing Education Bursary, The Adult Sailing Education Bursary, and the Health & Physical Activity Bursary Program.
All of the WOW! programs aim to encourage women’s health and wellness through awareness, mentoring, and sailing.
