HOW TO JOIN

We welcome all individuals of any age who are breast cancer survivors. Only those who have completed treatment and are physically able will paddle in the boat.

Supporter paddlers are also welcome. These are adult females who wish to celebrate life and paddle with us. When space in the boat is at a premium, survivor paddlers receive first priority.

Paddling season is usually May to September, but you can join the team at any time. You are welcome to come out and see us in action, go for a ride, or try paddling (subject to health screening and medical clearance, see Par-Q Form). We would love to welcome you aboard!
PFDs and paddles for practices are provided by the team.

All Members are required to complete at least
one Bingo shift (2 hour shifts) throughout the year.
Training by OLGA, and appropriate attire (team uniform) is required.

Bingo (Cambridge location) is our major team fundraiser
and has been very successful keeping the team afloat.
