PDBC Ohana is making its mark on the dragon boat community in Pickering!

Ohana is a program designed for paddlers of all abilities, and includes PARA and Special Needs athletes who may have a physical, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or intellectual impairment. The goal is to remove as many obstacles as possible for these athletes to compete in our sport, and to ensure everyone is a welcome part of our dragon boat family.

A big thanks to CityTV and for allowing us to share our program with the world!

Interested in finding out more about our mixed ability program? Check out our website at www.pdbc.ca, send an email to our coordinator at membership@pdbc.ca, or send us a DM!
