The sure signs of spring are often thought to be robins and daffodils. But for dragon boat paddlers like Knot A Breast Cancer Survivor members, there is only one significant symbol of the shift from winter to spring: boats in the water.
On Saturday, April 13, 2019, the three Welland dragon boats, weighing about 600 lbs (270 kg) each were removed from storage at the Welland International Flatwater Centre and placed in the canal. Through multi-team collaboration with members of Knot A Breast, SNCC Warlocks and Rowbust, each boat was slowly walked down the hill in a coordinated awkward shuffle.
Spring training has officially started!
