OLPC had a fabulous turn out at our Open House. We’re so proud to share our love of the sport with newcomers. ❤️❤️ 🐲🚣🏻
The excitement is palpable for a season full of sublime moments on a pristine lake in the early morning, camaraderie with fellow paddlers, pushing to our limits as we strive to outperform our personal best.
The promise of our potential is exhilarating. 😎 Welcome to all our newcomers and welcome back to our returning crew.
Paddles Up!

Thank you, Town of Osoyoos, for awarding OLPC $6000 from the Resort Municipality Fund.
This grant helps to support our Sept 2026, 6th Annual Flag Race Festival. Our annual event hosts over 450 Dragon Boat Racers from around BC. We're proud of the postive impact it brings to local tourism: hotel bookings, restaurants, wineries, shopping at local businesses. Our paddlers enjoy all that Osoyoos has to offer!
OLPC offers an affordable sport that promotes health, fitness and community. Thank you, Osoyoos, for supporting our volunteer organization.
