Hope Afloat Canada is a women’s cancer survivor dragon boat team. Initially formed in 2001 as a breast cancer survivor’s dragon boat team, it now offers membership to women surviving all types of cancers. We are a group of hard-working, fun-loving women who enjoy the sport of dragon boat racing. The race that we feel we are truly winning though is the race against cancer.
Our hope is that the message “there is life, love and laughter after treatment” will reach other women facing the disease and will perhaps make a positive difference to their recovery. We were formed in 2001 and have a wide span of ages. Getting up early in the morning to go to our practices isn’t difficult as we are fortunate to practice in the picturesque Comox Harbour beneath the beautiful backdrop of the Comox Glacier.
