The Story:
The 16th Annual Welland Dragon Boat Festival was a great success!

This year the event venue, the Welland International Flatwater Centre, was fully staffed which made our event the smoothest and easiest to run yet. We implemented suggestions from last year to make sharing the race schedules and times easier by texting them to team captains, having awards for the Women’s Division, and eliminating the team waiver so that individuals only had to sign their individual waivers.

By request we added a breast cancer survivor ceremony which was a welcome addition and inspiring moment of the day.
