NEWS (August 22): The team has just a few weeks of practices left before they end their season racing at the Stratford Regatta on Saturday, September 14th. A team end-of-season and club end-of-season parties are also being planned.
Planning for 2025 will start in September, and registration for the 2025 season will open about mid-January right here on this page.
This dragon boat team was formed in 2022 and we are excited to be heading into our 3rd year in 2024. Both experienced and new paddlers are very welcome to join us. ANYONE can participate in this inclusive sport and the Rusty Dragons make it a rewarding and fun experience for all.
The team is excited to have coach Catherine MacInnes as our coach again. Catherine is not only a great coach, but has a long resume of dragon boat achievements, including as a race official for large dragon boat festivals.
