On May 22, the Nothin’ Dragon Paddling Society held a General Meeting at the Old Mill Boathouse to chart a course for the season ahead.

We welcomed fresh perspectives, addressed important topics, and voted on a bylaw change — all in the spirit of respect, inclusion, and shared purpose. Everyone was given a chance to be heard, and we’re stronger for it.

Here’s to a united crew and a fantastic season ahead!

Documents that were on presentation:

• President’s Welcome

• Recreational Paddle Update

• Executive Statement on Coaching

• Cost Per Race Member

• Minimum Requirements for Race Paddlers

• Dragon Boat Canada Racing Categories

• 2023-25 Medal Results Comparison

• 2025 Race Event Interest & Related Fees

• Race Membership Age Stats

• Vessi Rosters 

The resolution was discussed and voted on.

The resolution did not pass, as it required one more vote. In order for it to pass, a bylaw resolution must be approved by 2/3 of those present.

The meeting was held between 7–9 p.m.

Minutes will be presented and approved at our next general meeting.
