Reflecting from the water, I discovered the true meaning of "Canada's Ocean Playground."


I've always been passionate about sailing and eager to share this passion with my friends. The surprise on their faces when they learn of my involvement in sailing has been a source of joy for me.

The greatest gift I've received in the past year is the connection I've found through sailing. It's something I never imagined would become a part of my story.

Speaking about this magical experience makes me sentimental. Sailing has not only added excitement to my life and lifted me during down times, but it has also opened up a world of connections. It's reconnected me with people and places from my culture back home in China and right here in Nova Scotia.

It has unveiled a new career path for me.

In addition to being a community connector, photographer, and storyteller, I've added a new hat to my collection: sailing translator and photographer.

My desire is for more people like me to experience this joy. The moment you leave the shore, venturing deeper into the harbour, and look back, that's when the most iconic campaign of Nova Scotia, "Canada's Ocean Playground," comes to life right before your eyes.

Nova Scotia has so much to offer, even after 11 years of calling it home. Every summer and winter, there are still new surprises waiting for me.

If you're struggling to visualize what I'm talking about, I invite you to watch the short film. Let us share this incredible journey with you.
