Breaking News!   Water’s Edge has officially secured approval to have a Beer Garden located at the festival site in Rainbow Park. The Pemberton Canoe Club’s Adaptive Paddling Program will be the official charity for the beer garden with partial proceeds going towards the purchase of an outrigger canoe for this special program. Help us build a legacy in Whistler and visit the beer garden in the Athletes Village!

Because this is a family-friendly event, children will be permitted in the beer garden area if accompanied by a parent or adult guardian over 19 years of age.

Looking forward to seeing you all in Whistler!

Water's Edge has created a Community Challenge Division for the Whistler Dragon Boat Festival.  This will be for novice paddlers or even those who have never stepped foot in a boat.  If you have friends and family that would like the opportunity to paddle, this will be the event for them.   
 
We have also created a way for those paddlers that want to go to Whistler but don't have a team the ability to paddle in the full festival. 

Below is an announcement that was sent out earlier today.  We look forward to seeing you in Whistler!

Cheers.

Whistler Dragon Boat Festival to benefit the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program

Whistler, June 10, 2008- Water’s Edge is helping hundreds of individuals with disabilities get active in water sports in Whistler.
The Whistler Adaptive Sports Program (WASP) announced today that Water’s Edge will donate the proceeds of it’s beer garden, being held on June 28 and 29th at Rainbow Park, to WASP’s Adaptive Paddling Programs.  Water’s Edge joins the Resort Municipality of Whistler, Scotiabank, TELUS and Captain Holiday’s Kayak and Adventure School in supporting this Initiative, which aims to increase the participation of individuals with a disability in adaptive water sports.

“Water’s Edge is demonstrating its commitment to the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program through this tremendous donation,� said Chelsey Walker, WASP executive director. “Water’s Edge will be leaving an adaptive paddling legacy in Whistler that will benefit the community for many years to come.�

The Whistler Adaptive Sports Program has been offering adaptive water sports for three years.  The donation by Water’s Edge will help to purchase an Adaptive Outrigger Canoe.  WASP will be working with the Pemberton Paddling Club to offer adaptive outrigger canoeing.  Outrigger canoeing joins canoeing and kayaking as part of the water sports offered by WASP.

 â€œThe Whistler Adaptive Sports Program continues to expand its slate of adaptive summer sports,â€� said Walker. “As Whistler moves forward towards to becoming the premier mountain community for individuals with a disability, WASP will provide and promote new programs to enhance the both resident and visitor experience.â€�   

Whistler Adaptive Sports Program is a not-for-profit society that provides year-around, recreational programs for people of all ages with disabilities. It is a centre for learning and sports excellence that has a local, regional, national and international clientele and we encourage independence, self-confidence and self-motivation for all of its athletes and participants through outdoor recreation.

For further information please contact:
Chelsey Walker, Executive Director, WASP, 604-905-4493,[email protected]
