The Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club’s annual Community Challenge is taking place this Sunday (June 5^th2011) from 11:00 to around 2:00pm on Harrison Lake. This is a small regatta built around local businesses in the Fraser Valley. We create dragon boat teams from the local business employees (and family members), give them a few practices so they can get the general idea of dragon boating and then race them against each other. The winner of the regatta gets their name on the Community Challenge Cup and bragging rights for the year.

This year we have Buxton Consulting and Soprema from Chilliwack with Cascade Aerospace from Abbotsford.  We are also trying to get our newly formed Ladies Only Team (recently created) to round out the field. We also plan to have an obstacle course as another fun event for the teams and an Open Paddle for anyone from the general public that might want to try their hand at paddling.

If you are in the Harrison Hot Springs area this Sunday morning, please drop by and watch these newly formed teams race their hearts out.
