Featured Participant – Kim Kuipers

From the moment you meet her, there’s little about Kim Kuipers that isn’t delightful. Kim is a chipper, easygoing 67-year old with a mop of silvery hair and an infectious laugh, her cheerfulness paired with an enduring passion to do good things for the world and to do them well. A veteran of the sport, she’s been dragon boating since 2013, starting with Hamilton’s Lively Dragons and culminating in the Para Dragon category at the Canadian Club Crew Championships. Last year (2024) she founded the Extra Special Livelys: a dragon boating team for paddlers with special needs.
