MIXED ABILITY DRAGONS


This team was formed in 2013 and is now called the "Mixed Ability Dragons".  We are launching the second decade of this team with an expansion and partnership with the international Mixed Ability Sports organization.  We are encouraging family members and friends to join the team.  We are still recruiting team members, who are welcome from anywhere or any organization in the GTA.

 

May 30 Update:  Registration is open for both programs detailed below.  Both new and experienced paddlers have already started signing up.  We want you to join us and see what the sport is all about and how accessible it is for anyone of any ability.  Note that we delayed the start of the Spring Session to JUne 8th to give us more recruiting time and make sure we have enough staff and volunteers for the practices.
