Calling all oceans champions: applications now open for Ottawa Wave Makers 2016 WWF March 21, 2016 Share: Share This Page: Share with Facebook Share via Twitter Share via Linkedin Share in email We want you to become a part of Ottawa Wave Makers, an initiative that raises awareness about Canada’s oceans in our nation’s capital. In 2015, WWF-Canada partnered with local innovation experts from Impact Hub Ottawa to develop this first-of-its-kind microgrant and bring it to life in the city of Ottawa. We asked people to get creative and work together to find innovative ways to connect people to our oceans – and the results were incredible. Seven amazing projects received funding under the Ottawa Wave Makers microgrant last year, and so far these projects have reached thousands of people across the city. Check out some of the Wave Makers projects to get inspired: BUYING SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD IN OTTAWA: A VIDEO GUIDE TO MAKING LOCAL CHOICES Sonia Vani created an educational video and classroom project with the students of Avalon Public School.
