We are grateful for the support provided by the Borough of Verdun. The Borough, or Arrondissement, of Verdun is one of the 28 municipal districts that make up the city of Montreal. The borough is located just south of the Lachine Canal where we conduct our outdoor practices. See the borough's website for more about their history and current information.
Verdun has been the major sponsor of the club since the inception of the Verdun Pionners in 1996. Their support has enabled the participation of the adult teams at all the competitons throughout the year.
Thank you Verdun!
In spite of the important contributions of our current sponsors there are many other costs that the members cover themselves, such as boat rentals and coaching. If you are interested in supporting the Verdun Dragon Boat Club contact the team manager
