Woodstock Dragon Boat Club

Happy Canada Day from the Woodstock Dragon Boat Club! Have a safe, happy, and socially distanced day celebrating this wonderful country of ours! #canada #canadaday #dragonboat

Well, if we can't race, at least we can celebrate! Happy Dragon Boat Festival 2020! #GoogleDoodle

The Thames River Clean Up event (originally scheduled for April 25th) has been cancelled as well due to COVID-19 concerns. We'll be back next year and work extra hard to help make our local dragon boat festival site beautiful.

Unfortunately due to Covid-19 the 2020 Dragon Boat Fun League has been canceled. We are hoping to continue again next year. Have a great and safe summer.

Another festival cancelled due to COVID-19. A tough year for everyone. Stay safe!

The Woodstock Dragon Boat Club will be discussing this season and COVID-19 very shortly. The goal is to get out later in the year however nothing will happen as a club or team until we are safe to do so. Stay home, stay safe.

Better safe than sorry. Stay home, stay safe.
