2006 IDBF Dragon Boat Club Crew World Championships

August 10-13, 2006

Marilyn Bell Park
Toronto, ON

Over 150 crews and 4,000 competitors are expected to participate in this year's event, including teams from across North America, and as far away as Europe, South Africa, New Zealand and China. Previous IDBF World Championships have been held in cities such as Berlin, Shanghai, Rome and Cape Town. Toronto is the first Canadian city to host this event. The next Club Crew World Championships will be held in Penang, Malaysia in 2008.

The Championship races will take place at the brand new Western Beaches Watercourse, just off scenic Marilyn Bell Park in Toronto’s west end (near Ontario Place). A 10-minute drive or 30 to 40-minute walk from downtown Toronto, the site is also easily accessible by Toronto’s public transit system or TTC.

Not only will the event offer four days of exciting competition, cultural entertainment, activities for kids, and more, admission is FREE for all. Spectators and dragon boat fans from across North America – and the world – are expected to come out and spend the day on Toronto’s beautiful waterfront and cheer on their favourite Dragon Boat crews.
