I haven't heard anything new.

Last set of pics I saw were: http://www.dragonboatwest.net/index.php?topic=5228.0. (http://www.dragonboatwest.net/index.php?topic=5228.0.)  There are a few vids in this YouTube feed:

I think the closest festival (to Vancouver) with Taiwanese style boats is the Portland Rose Festival Dragon Boat Race (http://www.pksca.net/home.php?layout=51667 (http://www.pksca.net/home.php?layout=51667)).  Done that one a few times in their old boats (replaced in 2013).  A great way to get injuries if you jump in and paddle them like a BUK!
