NORTHERN SPIRIT DRAGON BOAT TEAM

… LOOKING FOR NEW TEAM MEMBERSKitimat’s Northern Spirit women’s dragon boat team is looking for a few dedicated women aged 19 and older to join their team and make a splash this paddling season! We are a group of positive women

with an appetite for paddling, an emphasis on fun, meeting new friends and paddling the best we can. A dragon boat is a team sport that involves 20 paddlers stroking in synchronization to move a boat across the water with the guidance of a steersperson. If you enjoy fitness and are able to commit to paddling twice a week and take part in a few fun regattas during the paddling season, then we are the team for you! Our paddling season runs from approx. mid-April to mid-September. We paddle on Mondays and Thursdays in the beautiful setting of Minette Bay Marina from 6:45 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Free to try and if you want to be a part of our team our paddling season membership fee is $175 which includes practices twice per week and use of paddles and life jackets.
