The Youth Dragon Boat Festival set for Saturday has been cancelled because of high water levels and flood threats.
The Lakehead Canoe Club cancelled the event after consulting with the City of Thunder Bay and the Lakehead Region Conservation Authority.
Boulevard Lake is at high levels and the Current River isn’t expected to crest in another 24 hours, making it unsafe to run practices this week or hold the festival on Saturday.
Organizers regret they have to make this decision and know the participants will be disappointed.
Twelve teams were registered.
