This team was formed in 2013, and this year it is being renamed from the "Spirit Dragons" to the "Mixed Ability Dragons". We are launching the second decade of this team with an expansion and partnership with the Mixed Ability Sport international organization. We are also encouraging family members and friends to join the team. We are still recruiting team members, who are welcome from anywhere or any organization in the GTA.

We are now starting our Fall Session which includes 3 practices in August and then racing at the Hope Floats Dragon Boat Festival in Welland, ON. It's not too late to join!! No experience required.

This is the fifth year for this team. Join us and spend your summer months enjoying the paddling, camaraderie, and fresh air on waterfront that comes with this team. New this year is monthly video review - where we take video of team paddling and can look at it later to identify areas where the team can improve. This is an invaluable tool to becoming a better team. We have two dedicated co-captains identified very early on to help plan for an amazing year!
