About Us
The Kootenay Rhythm Dragons are Nelson's first dragon boat team. The team building began in the fall of 2003, and the momentum has continued to build. Each year we continue to grow and develop our team.
Our Team purposes are:
- To improve the physical and psychological well being of people who have had breast cancer.
- To raise community awareness of breast cancer survivorship.
- To support and honor those who are unable to participate
KRD is made up of a diverse group of people, including breast cancer survivors, their friends, family, and supporters, who want to share in the activity of paddling and the team message. There is lots of interest in our team, and we are hoping that we can inspire other teams to take up Dragon Boating in Nelson. Each year we bring more members aboard and welcome each and everyone!
