Maple Bay Students Build Polliwog
We came across an article in Wooden Boat Magazine and it reminded us of the amazing work that the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre does with students at Maple Bay Elementary. We couldn’t be more proud, since we support this event every year with a donation of plywood.
Watch the video by ShawTV about the project and like the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre’s Facebook page.
