Neither rain, nor sleet, nor freezing weather…

The Lakehead Canoe Club’s Dragon Boat crew warm up after their December training session.
The Lakehead Canoe Club’s Dragon Boat crew warm up after their December training session.


The weather outside may have been frightful around Thunder Bay in early December 2006, but that didn’t stop members of the Lakehead Canoe Club from venturing out onto Lake Superior. The group is training for the 2007 North Shore Dragon Boat Festival in July.

The club has received two OTF grants. In 2003, they received $75,000 over one year to purchase equipment that supported the growing sport of dragon boating in the region. The grant also helped enhance the fundraising capabilities of community groups through dragon boat festivals. In 2006, the club received a $32,000 grant over one year to renovate their paddlesport centre and purchase equipment.

The Lakehead Canoe Club won a 2005 OTF Great Grant Award for increasing participation in dragon boat racing and building a strong Northwestern Ontario competitive force at the national level.
