The regatta consists of three 500m dragon boat races using BUK dragon boats. There is no age class racing. Breast Cancer Survivor Challenge and Flower Ceremony is once again being hosted by our Regatta, sponsored by Abreast In A Boat (AIAB), and promises to be the highlight of the day!

Paddles and Transport Canada approved PFDs are provided for racers. All boats, PFDs, paddles, and common surfaces will be disinfected regularly. However, Paddlers are encouraged to use their own Transport Canada/Canadian Coast Guard certified PFD, and their own paddle if they have one to reduce using shared equipment.
