Dragon Boat 2014!

If you went by Mooney’s Bay last weekend you couldn’t help but notice North America’s largest dragon boat festival in full swing. With free concerts, great food and non-stop races the Dragon Boat festival was the place to be! What you may not have known was that Shepherds of Good Hope was right in the thick of things. As one of five charities chosen to receive financial support from the Dragon Boat Foundation, our staff, clients and volunteers got involved in a big way. The staff put together a team to race and while they didn’t end up as the fastest boat they may have had the most fun. Shepherds of Good Hope also arranged to provide volunteers to sell popcorn during the entire festival. The popcorn was delicious and it gave us a great chance to say hello to old friends and make new ones as we thanked everyone who attended for supporting our work.

 

Over all the weekend was a huge success and the Festival proved to be one of Ottawa’s can’t miss events. To see more photos from Dragon Boat check out our facebook page by clicking HERE.
