🌸🐉 Paddles up, Barb! 🇫🇷🌊

Inlet Spirit is cheering on our own Barb as she heads to Aix-les-Bains, France for the 2026 IBCPC Participatory Dragon Boat Festival!

Taking place August 24–30 on the beautiful Lac du Bourget, this incredible international gathering will bring together approximately 4,500 breast cancer paddlers from around the world — celebrating strength, friendship, resilience and life through dragon boating. 🌍💗

Barb, we are so proud of you! Soak up every moment, paddle strong, make memories and enjoy the incredible experience of being part of this global dragon boat family!

Paddles up, Barb! We’ll be cheering you on from home! 🐉🌊💗

August 22, we're competing in Vancouver! 🎥 Catch the races live online on the event's YouTube channel, concordlive.ca, or on site from the edge of False Creek OR on the big screens on the event site.

False Creek comes alive in a little over a week and half! On August 22, cheer on our teams as they take to the water- but also cheer on some of Vancouver (and North America's) top teams as they race one final time here at home before flying out to race at the Club Crew World Championships the week after!
