Your Destination For Paddling Sports



*Construction du site web en cours* S’il vous plaît soyez patient lorsque nous mettons à jour la langue française. Merci  

Dragon boat is for adults of all ages, genders, and fitness levels. It is a team sport with crews up to twenty paddlers. If you have never paddled a dragon boat, you are encouraged to jump right in.

  

Le bateau-dragon est destiné aux adultes de tous âges, sexes et niveaux de forme physique. C'est un sport d'équipe avec des équipages jusqu'à vingt pagayeurs. Si vous n'avez jamais pagayé sur un bateau-dragon, nous vous encourageons à vous lancer.

Les Championnats canadiens de bateau-dragon 2023 ont eu lieu sur notre parcours à domicile, le Welland International Flatwater Center.
