Founded in 1992 by Alvin Wang, the Calgary Dragon Boat Club (CDBC) started simply as a group of friends who thought "it would be fun" to enter Calgary's first ever dragon boat races. Now nearly 18 years later, it still seems like a pretty good idea.
What are our goals?
Simply to: - introduce as many like minded people as possible to the fun of dragon boat racing, and - provide an outlet for our "irrepressible competitive spirit".
Can one man make a difference? In the case of dragon boat racing, the answer is definitely yes. More than 2000 years after his death, the story of Qu Yuan is still remembered and retold.
We have secured Eau Claire Y again as our dryland training venue for this upcoming season. Our trainer from last year, Mark, will be whipping us back into shape.
