Catch the Spirit of the Dragon
The theme of the New Liskeard Lions Dragon Boat Festival is a simple and solemn one: teamwork and unity. Come be a part of this 2000 year-old tradition which has become one of Canada's fastest growing sports. Let us, as a community, meet the challenge of working in perfect harmony. For the past several years during the summer months, communities such as Sudbury, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax, Regina, Winnipeg, London, Stratford, Waterloo, Guelph, Parry Sound, North Bay, Blind River, Ottawa, Thunder Bay and Woodstock have hosted Dragon Boat Festivals as highly successful community events. The New Liskeard Dragon Boat Race will also be a major community event and fundraising effort in support of Food Forever Fund , the Diabetes Program-Temikaming, and the New Liskeard Lions Club Inc.
While dragon boat racing has its roots in Chinese tradition, these festivals have come to be celebrations reflecting Canada's multicultural heritage. They create a friendly yet competitive atmosphere for participants to match their abilities and test their skills in dragon boat racing. The fundamental objective of a Dragon Boat Festival is to strengthen community spirit. It also galvanizes its citizens to demonstrate their organizational talent and resources in hosting a major recreational and cultural event.
The Dragon Boat Festival Committee of the New Liskeard Lions Club hosted our largest-ever third annual Dragon Boat Race and Festival on June 26th and 27th, 2009. The event presents an opportunity for our citizens to actively participate in a major recreational and cultural event that will make us all proud.
The Committee's goal is to reflect a strong, vibrant and healthy community. This festival will attract many visitors to our city, especially from other Northern Ontario communities such as Sudbury, North Bay, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and Parry Sound. This will promote a greater awareness of the City of Temiskaming Shores, as well as the coming together and support of our civic leaders, governments, businesses, sponsors, donors, volunteers and participants in making the New Liskeard Lions Dragon Boat Race and Festival a successful community event.
