DBC hopes this email finds you well. There has been an update to the Return to Dragon Boat Guidelines.
We are all eager to get back on the water with our teams. Dragon Boat Canada created a working group with experts from the community to develop a comprehensive guideline to return to our sport for Dragon Boaters across the country.
The guidelines have been created for our community, to assist in getting back on the water while aligning with the evolving public health measures in place across Canada.
Please read thoroughly the Return to Dragon Boat Guidelines, utilize the assessment tool, and remain vigilant in your awareness of provincial and local guidelines.
Do not hesitate to contact DBC should you have any questions.
Para Dragon Boat
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.
