Fuller Landau CanSupport des Cedres Dragon Boat Race |

2017_2018_LCCDragonBoat_16 On Saturday, September 9, 19 friends and I attended the 12th Annual Fuller Landau Cedars CanSupport Dragon Boat race and festival. We had to wake up bright and early to be there for 8 am, but it was worth it. We got to paddle a boat together in a few races, and it was a lot of fun. We learned a lot, notably the mindset that paddling together is more important than paddling hard. This doesn’t only apply to paddling, but to life in general. At lunch, we witnessed an inspiring ceremony, which consisted of a few minutes of silence, and then all of the cancer patients or survivors who were in attendance threw flowers into the water. All in all, it was a wonderful event for a good cause and a lot of fun. – William Hamilton ’19

2017_2018_LCCDragonBoat_02 On Saturday, September 9, my friends and I spent the morning at the 12th Annual Fuller Landau CanSupport des Cedres Dragon Boat Race. We got there bright and early to prepare for our first race at 8:45 am which was against three other boats, one being another group of grade 10 LCC students! Unfortunately, we came in last place and the other LCC team came in 3rd. We didn’t let that get us down and immediately started strategizing for our second race in which we came in 3rd place!

Not coming in last was definitely one of the highlights of the morning. Another highlight was watching my friends sumo wrestle in fat suits in between races!

All in all, everyone had so much fun at the dragon boat race and was so happy that we got to participate in such a great event supporting an amazing cause. — Danielle Cutler ’18
