Teams get in some stretches prior to their races
Some of the teams had banners - like Gilda's Dragons
True North Paddling Club
Several of the teams include breast cancer survivor teams and the ages of the rowers was quite diverse as they took part in qualifications and elimination rounds in races of 200m, 500m and 2km. This is also a qualifier for the Canadian National Championships. The festival also included food and beverage sales, mystery bag sales and a lot of items up for bids in a silent auction.
Competitions had two to four teams. Each team lined up and two teams boarded the boats at a time
The GWN dragon boats even had their own dragons
See more of the festival after the jump.
Some last minute pep talks after loading
Pushing off the dock
The after race high five is important
Get off the boat, then relax before the next heat. It's a long day of hard paddling
There were two sets of four numbered boats. One set would be loading/unloading and one would be racing
Cool team like Chicks Ahoy! I remember a Toronto Roller Derby team with that name
