The first of two opportunities to learn more about the Dragon Boat program on the North Coast takes place tonight at the Prince Rupert Middle School.
Prince Rupert's Rainbow Warriors are hosting the information sessions, where those with an interest in the sport can learn more about what the Prince Rupert squad is all about and register for 2017 if it seems like a challenge they are up to.
Dragon Boat racing on the North Coast involves a team of 22, who work together to propel the long boats in both competitive events and for recreational outings.
The group can frequently be seen taking to the water for practice in the harbour area, along with trips to local destinations as they get their practice hours in, explore the North Coast, making for a pretty interesting exercise regimen.
For 2017 the group hope to enter the annual Dragon boat Regatta competition at Lakelse lake Terrace, an event that the group has had some success at in years past.
The group has also been strong supporters to help those who fight, fought and live with Breast Cancer and have been seen at a number of other community events through the year.
