RCC Dragon Boat

Thank you to all the teams and volunteers that made today's RCC Festival possible. Always amazed by the spirit that lives within our Dragonboat community. Hope to see you back next year!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the festival tomorrow. See below for how we would like cars to park in the field. We were able to pay for a permit through the city to allow for parking for this special event. Parking is limited so please review other options on our website

Wishing all the best to the teams competing at the National Dragon Boat Championships!!!

Good luck to all of the Ottawa area teams competing in Montreal this week-end!!!

If you think you might need to hire a drummer and/or steerperson please be sure to let us know by Wednesday June 19th @ 9pm.

The additional boats have arrived for festival practices! With the increase in practices there will be more traffic and less parking. Here is a link for parking options. rideaucanoeclub.ca/home/about-us/…

Want to learn how to steer? This Sunday June 2nd @ 3pm is our steering clinic. If you want to help out as a paddler please come down for some free time on the water.

Given today's weather just wanted to remind everyone that we practice rain or shine. Only in the case of lighting are practices cancelled. See this link for more details. Here is hoping for some more sunny weather #TOC-If-it-is-raining-are-practices-cancelled-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rideaucanoeclub.ca/home/dragon-bo…

This SUNDAY, MAY 26 the parking lot will be closed ALL DAY for repairs. Cracks and potholes will be filled before painting the lines at a later day. Please make alternative plans for parking if you plan to come to the club. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Promoting smoother dock transitions at the RCC. Please see below for traffic flow of Sprint Boats and Dragon Boats. Paddles up!!!

Woohoo!!!

Water levels are still looking good! Here is a pic from this morning

Very hard to stay on top of these things. Water levels have risen back up. Practices are back ON starting tomorrow (Wednesday). If you want to practice tonight (Tuesday) please rebook in team portal. We will assume you aren't practicing unless it is rebooked in portal.

Today water levels were unexpectedly lowered by Parks Canada. The water levels are too low to proceed with practices. Effective immediately practices have been cancelled moving forward. We will be providing daily updates as we receive more information (posted at 6pm each day).

URGENT - Parks Canada has unexpectedly lowered the water levels today and as a result practices are CANCELLED for May 13. An update for future practices will be sent later today as we get more information.

Practices are ON starting Friday May 10th! Paddles Up.

Unfortunately water levels have not risen sufficiently for Thursday practices. All Thursday May 9th practices are cancelled. An update will be provided tomorrow at 3pm for Friday practices.

Practices Thursday May 9th are tentatively ON. We will be providing an update Wednesday at 3pm as things could change. Currently we predict a 60% chance practices will move forward as planned on Thursday. If that is insufficient notice for your team please contact us to cancel.

@jenntuthillfit We have been told by Parks Canada the water should be ready for Thursday May 9th. We will send out an update tomorrow. As of now we expect Friday practices to be ON :)

@DragonRCC Any word on practices for later in the week (Friday)?

Unfortunately all practices have been cancelled up to and including May 8th, 2019. We will keep you posted as we get more information from Parks Canada. The cancellation is due to water levels.
