Dragon Boat Festival

Last weekend crowds attended the annual Dragon Boat Festival in the Inner Harbour. This is a very big and popular event that attracts thousands of people to view races and other activities that are focused on raising money for the BC Cancer Foundation. In the last 6 years the races have raised over a half million dollars in support of Cancer research and treatment. Above, some of the competing dragon boats race past Laurel Point in James Bay.

    Terrific capture!

    We have one of these on a weekend in June. It brings out a lot of people, and raises a good deal of money for charity.
