About Us
The Lake Revelstoke Dragon Boat Society was founded on August 26, 2005. We are a non-profit society registered in British Columbia. Our fiscal year, and our membership year, begins November 1. Our Annual General Meetings are held each spring.
Our mandate is:
- To promote public awareness of issues relating to cancer, including risk factors, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and research
- To facilitate physical activities for cancer survivors and supporters, and to educate and encourage activities which promote good health.
- To provide support, encouragement and assistance to persons dealing with cancer.
- To honour the memory of persons whose lives have been lost to cancer.
- To help persons who have been diagnosed with cancer understand that they can still lead full active lives despite the limitations imposed by this disease.
- To secure and manage donations and to disburse funds to organizations involved in cancer research and treatment.
- To pursue such activities as are incidental to these purposes and for which the dragon boat is an educational symbol of the ongoing struggle to overcome cancer.
