 Announcement and Media Release 2021 ATB Financial Lethridge Rotary Dragon Boat Festival The Planning Committee, in consultation with the leadership of the Rotary Clubs of Lethbridge, Alberta Health, and our major sponsor, ATB Financial, have determined this premiere festival event and the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Festival, scheduled for June 25-27th , 2021 will unfortunately be postponed to June 24-26th, 2022. This decision is the latest major event significantly impacted by the Covid Pandemic and recognize the disappointment of the community, athletes and all those anticipating the festival this year. “The health, safety and well-being of all those involved with the festival is paramount and cannot be jeopardized. Due to the additional risks imposed by this pandemic with an event of this magnitude, the Planning Committee will focus its efforts on the new vision for the festival for 2022 and years to come. We look forward to exceeding the long-standing expectations of our festival and to hosting our community, visitors, and athletes (local and out of town, out of province and country) in 2022 at the most renowned Dragon Boat Festival in Western Canada says Diane Randell, Chair of the Planning Committee. We are also most grateful to our long-standing major sponsor, ATB Financial, for their ongoing support and confidence in the Festival.” The Planning Committee will also plan to mark the weekend in June in a meaningful way and issue an invitation to join us in 2022 and to celebrate 20 years of dragon boating at Henderson Lake.
