2010 Canadian National Dragon Boat Championships July 3 & 4, Whistler B.C.
| This years' Whistler Dragon Boat Festival will also be home to the Canadian National Dragon Boat Championships. The event is sure to bring even more excitement and thrills for everyone involved, racers and spectators alike. Join Waters Edge and Dragon Boat Canada for a weekend on Alta Lake's Rainbow Park and enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, surrounded with beating drums, fierce paddling, cheering spectators, and live entertainment! The event is going to be awesome! Dragon Boat Canada is working with Waters Edge, Flight Centre and the Town of Whistler to get the best rates possible for your travel and accomodation, so this will be a weekend to remember! The Divisions are: Junior Class - Races may be held for Single or Mixed gender crews or in Open Competition, as shown above, with the exception of the Steerer (Helm) the following age categories, as at the 1st January, will apply to the Junior Class: Junior A (Competitors under the age of 18 but at least 12 years old.) Junior B (Competitors under the age of 16 but at least 12 years old.) NOTE: This means that a competitor whose 18th; 16th or 14th birthday falls on or after 1st January, in a given year, can compete in that year only, as a 17, 15 or 13 year old, respectively. 18-23 Premier Senior Breast Cancer Survivor Grand Dragons Great Grand Dragons BUK dragon boats will be used in the National Championships.

Her email address is execdirector@dragonboatcanada.org. Waters Edge is registering teams participating in the Whistler Dragon Boat Festival.

The 30 foot Swifts have proven to be a popular addition to the Waters Edge fleet, and I am hoping they will have time in the busy Whistler schedule to fit them in. |
