Join our intrepid crew of women on an exhilarating and challenging paddle in a dragon boat across Lake Ontario on June 20, 2025. We’re the first all-women dragon boat paddling team to embark on this epic journey from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Toronto. Our mission is to raise funds for Options for Independent Living & Development, Hamilton, a registered charity that provides essential housing & support services to those living at OFILD.  Our incredible crew comprises remarkable women from various dragon boat clubs across the Burlington, Dundas, Hamilton, Mt.Hope, Mississauga communities and regional areas of Niagara covering Grimsby, Jordan, Beamsville, Vineland, St.Catharines, Welland, Thorold, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie. Port Colborne, Fonthill and Pelham. Let’s unite and make this a day to remember for CLOsure2025, while simultaneously helping us achieve our goal of raising funds for OFILD.
