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!

I was unable to determine whether or not Waters Edge
will offer Swift boat (10 man dragon boat) sprints, as that
decision has not been made yet.
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.
