Girls ages 14 and up will once again get the chance to visit the Canadian Coast Guard’s Sea Island base in Richmond this weekend to learn about search and rescue career opportunities.

The event is hosted by the Achieve Anything Foundation, which aims to inspire future female leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields.

Anyone who identifies as a woman or girl can apply online for a day of interactive search and rescue exercises, rides on a zodiac and dive demonstrations.
