Festival Organizations

• The St. Catharines Dragon Boat Festival Committee is comprised of volunteers who have a keen interest in promoting this rapidly growing sport. Their goal is to produce a memorable and quality event for participants and spectators alike.
• The St. Catharines Museum is valued as a unique and dynamic cultural centre. Professional staff and volunteers work to ensure St. Catharines' rich heritage is shared through the preservation of artifacts and documentation. Through preserving our history and celebrating our diverse community, the St. Catharines Museum has gained local and international recognition as a centre of excellence.
• The citizens of St. Catharines take a great deal of pride in the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta Course. Recently renovated through the efforts of many volunteers and donors, the facility has hosted the 1970 and the 1999 World Rowing Championships, in addition to the 1993 World University Games regatta. It continues to host the Annual CSSRA Canadian High School Championships and the "Henley", considered by many to be the North American Club Championships event. The Directors of the Canadian Henley Rowing Corporation extend their warm welcome to this year's Dragon Boat Festival and all its competitors and volunteers.
