ABOUT Canal Dragons

Canal Dragons is a mixed Dragon Boat Crew for all genders and ages. This program is ideal for families and individual athletes whether you are a beginner, a high-performance athlete or somewhere in between. The focus is on fitness, developing paddling skills, and fun. Racing is optional.

In a regular paddling season, we offer a variety of packages for your convenience. However, during Covid-19 there have been several restrictions. If a session below does not suit your needs, please contact vicecommodoredb@southniagaracanoeclub.ca Perhaps we can work something out for you.

Paddles and life jackets are supplied however, due to covid-19 we strongly encourage bringing your own life jacket if you have it. For spring training, it is recommended you bring a yoga mat.
