This is the name of our women's competitive composite team at the Rusty Dragons. Composite teams are teams formed temporarily for a single event, and may have a a practice included, or not. As a result, anyone signing up for this team's events must have experience paddling with their "home" team. This team is for paddlers who want some extra races in their season on top of those already part of their existing regular home team. They are open to anyone, not just Rusties!
Please note that this is a competitive minded team - meaning that paddlers register their serious interest in joining the team by a certain date, and then the team committee announces who has made the roster (for each separate event).
2024 February 4th Update: Registration is now OPEN for the Toronto Womens Dragon Boat Festival at Heart Lake in Brampton on Sunday May 26th. Note that the fee for Heart Lake now includes a practice the week before the event, as well as a newly designed dye-sublimated team jersey .
- See below for the various race opportunities that are open to anyone from any team/club.
