The Ottawa Ice Dragon Boat Festival held the inaugural ODBF Shiver & Giver Fundraising Drive and Races. Over sixteen thousand in funds were raised for local charities supported through the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation!

The top five fundraising teams in both the mixed and women’s divisions got to hit the ice before anyone else. Competitors raised money for Youth Services Bureau, the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation Community Fund and the Tim Horton’s Children’s Foundation in support of Voyageurs summer camp in Quyon, QC.

Congratulations to The Valecraft Velocity, winners of the Shiver & Giver Mixed Final and to Vermont Fire, winners of the Shiver & Giver Women’s Final!
