How do I get there??? (A.K.A.
- Directions)
- Take Crowchild Trail South and cross over Glenmore Trail...
continuing into Lakeview.
- Go Straight through the intersection
- Go past Lakeview Mall
- Go past Lakeview Golf Course on the left and enter into
North Glenmore Park (30 Km/h).
- At the first left, you’ll see the blue Calgary Canoe Club
building. Please park in the lot closest to the road and not
in the Club’s lot near the building.
We always meet on the other side of the building down the
stairs by the patio about 15 minutes before practice begins.

This Year's Plan
Practices will first focus on proper, basic dragon boat paddling technique including
boat commands.
Building on our form, we will work on increasing endurance, bettering our race
starts, steering, speed,
and race strategy.
On occasion we will have guest coaches, and will practice in both official dragon
boats as well as voyageur
canoes (if you don't know what one is.... just you wait!).
The Tough Stuff....
Special Dragon Boat practices are mandatory. All other practices will be in voyageur
canoes.
Race seating is based on practice attendance, so paddlers must be accountable
and notify the Team of any absences.
