The weekend of September 11-13 saw the Waves of Hope, Westman’s Breast Cancer Dragon Boat team, compete in the FMG festival held at the Forks in Winnipeg.  

 The team members represent the Westman area, travelling from as far north as Ethelbert, south to Baldur area and communities in between. They practice weekly at Lake Minnedosa.

 The team consists of breast cancer survivors and support members, all working together to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Through physical activity we strive to support others and sustain joy and meaning in our lives.  At the festival we had 3 excellent races which resulted in our team capturing second place in the Women’s Division in a field of 11 teams. 

It was a fabulous end to our season!  This was made possible through hard work and determination by all our members.
