Where are dragon boat festivals and races taking place in Ontario
In Ontario, dragon boat racing has gained popularity in the past three decades, with opportunities to participate throughout the summer.

June 10 marks this year’s Dragon Boat Festival, a Chinese holiday on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds on our calendars to late May or June.

There are a few stories behind the holiday, with one being that villagers in a southern Chinese village carried rice dumplings and boats to the middle of the local river to try to save the poet Qu Yuan from drowning.
