The seawall closure has unfortunately impacted all of our events, and as a result, all events are being moved back into Milton Wong Plaza as our main event hosting area is impacted. This will impact May 3 during the event. A rough map of the event and closures is provided below. The closures and detours will be supported by VPD officers on site through the day.
For any day-of issues, please email info@dragonboatbc.ca or call 604 688 2382 extension 1 to reach our staff, or call the City of Vancouver at 311 for support.

Burnwater paddles set the new standard of excellence in dragon boating. Designed using proprietary technologies, their paddles are easily the lightest, strongest, and most responsive paddles on the market. Core is everything and central to the design of their blade is HALO (High Strength/Low Density) technology. Paired with precise rounded edges to maintain pressure/laminar flow results in what we feel is one of the best catches, and aerospace carbon fiber ensures the strongest and highest quality fibers in the paddle. Experience the difference that passion for paddling makes. Visit their on-site booth to demo a paddle, pick up paddling gear, or grab a new paddle for the season ahead. |
