Keep our gear paddle-ready and our boats race-ready

Love practical problem-solving and keeping things shipshape? Help care for the boats and gear that make every practice and race possible.

Your stroke in the boat

• Coordinate upkeep of dragon boats, paddles, PFDs and other club assets.
• Conduct equipment safety inspections and flag issues for action.
• Maintain an accurate inventory and help track equipment condition.
• Work with team equipment representatives to coordinate care and availability.
• Oversee equipment storage and access arrangements.
• Manage sign-out of club equipment for paddlers participating in off-site events.
• Provide the Board with budget input on repairs and replacements.
• Work with the Safety & Risk Management director on equipment-related safety needs and related budget requests.

Bring your dragon energy

• Keep an eye on the hull: notice small issues before they become big repairs.
• Be practical and proactive: plan maintenance rather than just reacting.
• Work in sync: involve team equipment representatives and club volunteers.
• Treat club resources like shared crew gear: organized, reliable and ready for the next launch.

Paddle together

Partner with team equipment representatives, coaches, event leads and Safety & Risk Management. Ask members or a working group to help with inspections, maintenance, inventory and storage tasks.

Shared commitment

You guide this portfolio, but you do not paddle alone. Bring members, team representatives, committees and working groups alongside you to get things done. All Board directors share responsibility for upholding Safe Sport principles and supporting compliance with Dragon Boat Canada standards.
