Busting Out Ottawa Dragon Boat Club (BOODBC) 50/50 Grand Prize Draw
See details below
Our Team
We are Ottawa’s only breast cancer survivor dragon boat team. Currently we have over 40 members of various ages and backgrounds supporting each other. We welcome new members, whether they have just finished active treatment or have long recovered from breast cancer. Though breast cancer mostly affects women, men who have had breast cancer are also welcome to join our team.
Our Home
We paddle out of the Rideau Canoe Club in the beautiful setting of Mooney’s Bay in the heart of Ottawa.
Our Passion
The benefits of dragon boating for breast cancer survivors are many. Improved fitness and health, reducing lymphedema, and camaraderie and support of other survivors. For all general enquiries or enquiries regarding Membership, Sponsorship, Race Coordination, Fundraising and Communications, send an email to info@bustingoutottawa.ca
