On August 26, help support our Oncology Clinic! Teams of paddlers will take the waters of the Lachine Canal and experience the adrenaline and thrill of a race! This unique team-building activity is great for family, friends and colleagues.

Teams consist of 20 paddlers & 1 drummer.

Dragon Boat racing requires no previous skill. It is easy to learn, promotes teamwork, health and exercise, and is an activity where men and women compete side-by-side toward the same goal. Regardless of age or physical condition, once a paddler is in stroke, they are contributing to their team.

At the event, we encourage all teams to tailgate! Get into the spirit of the event – bring a tent, food, and drinks, and have a blast cheering on all the teams. There will also be a prize for the best-dressed team, so get creative – no costume is too silly for this event. Don’t forget to also decorate your tent space!

With over 1,000 cancer patients treated annually, funds raised will help provide state-of-the-art equipment and massage and music therapy programs to best treat and care for our ever-growing West Island community.
