Dear Alcan Dragon Boat Festival Teams,
As you all have heard, our province is preparing for major flooding. There is already a state of emergency in some areas. This has meant there is a big shortage of certain equipment that the society usually uses for the Alcan
Dragon Boat Festival. Items specific to the race include the large fleet of army tents that we use for racer's village. At this point we do not have the use of the number of tents that are needed for the village as they have to
be ready in case of the flooding and it is impossible to find replacements at this late date.
Many of you have tents that you take to other events. I would like to encourage you to bring your tents with you this year. We will
allocate the space for each team so that the village will still be
organized. If many of you are able to do this then the tents that we do
manage to get can be used for the visiting teams.
If you have something that you can use, please send an email to
[email protected]. This will help us to keep track of who has what.
Sorry for the inconvenience. It is unfortunate but in this case, I think we can all understand the circumstances.
Ann Phelps
General Manager
