Broad Reach Canada is committed to addressing the socioeconomic barriers associated with marine programming to encourage equitable access for all youth. Broad Reach Canada’s Sailing Access Fund allows youth aged 12-30 who would otherwise not be able to participate to experience the adventure and wonder of sailing  by covering some or all fees associated with participation in sail training programs. Broad Reach Canada promotes diversity and inclusion aboard participating vessels and encourages all eligible youth to apply, regardless of ability, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
