VI WOW!

1. Women on Water Seminar (WOW!)

We invite women boaters to complete this survey. Bluewater Cruising Association, Vancouver Island Chapter, plans to host a one day Women's Boating Seminar in Spring 2013 in Greater Victoria. All women boaters, sailing and power, are welcome to attend this seminar.

WOW believes that women on the water will be more confident, independent and safer through knowledge and learning. We will create a safe and respectful learning environment and build a network of women boaters. The seminar will offer a range of learning to address different levels of experience, from novice to more advanced boaters.

Please take a few moments to complete this survey, to help us plan a relevant, enjoyable learning experience for women on water (WOW!) It will only take a few minutes.

You are eligible to win a $50 gift coupon from West Marine by completing this survey. Your entry is at the end of the survey. Deadline for survey completion & contest: June 30, 2012.
