Canadian Wingfest Takes Flight

Yesterday the Canadian Wingfest moved from a dream to a reality, I spent most of the day down at the Waterfront, first a meeting with mayor Larry DiIanni, and then followed up with a second meeting with Councilor Chad Collins and Werner Plessel from the Waterfront Trust.

They took me for a tour after our talks discussing the plan, and showed me a empty wearhouse that we could use for part of the event, along with the new trail and Bayfront park.

Now you should know by now that my motto is go big or go home, and I see this festival turning into the biggest one this City has ever seen.

There could be so many different things that go along with this festival at the same time.

It could infact replace Aquafest.

Here are some ideas for the festival

1. Wingfest

2. Artist displaying work, and painting at the same time

3. The waterfront trail is 13 km's in length, how about a " Wingfest Walkathon"

4. Looking out over the water, I thought " Airshow"

5. How about bringing in some Tallships?

6. How about a Speed boat race?

7. How about some Water skiiers?

8. How about some rides for the kids?

9. How about some clowns, face painters?

10. How about some bands playing?

11. Maybe some guided tours of the HMCS Heida?

12. How about tours of the new Waterfront center?


This is just a start, but there is a great potential for this all to happen, more to follow on this.
