Peterborough's Dragon Boat Festival is a high-energy paddling competition that brings teams together to race in support of cancer care at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. This year, Pathway Church is not only putting together its own crew to “Get in the Boat” and paddle for hope, but we’re also hosting a Family Fun Zone tent packed with games, crafts, and activities for all ages—so you can support the cause whether you’re on the water or cheering from the shore.
Scroll down to learn how you can join the Pathway Dragon Boat team on the water or volunteer at our Fun Zone tent!
We’re excited to take part in this year’s Festival by hosting a Pathway Church Fun Zone Tent—your stop for family-friendly games, crafts, and activities designed to bless our community and showcase Pathway Church’s presence. We need families and individuals to help with setup, supervision shifts, and teardown; pick any time slot that fits your schedule, and come be part of the fun!

We’re doing this as part of our ForPTBO initiative—Pathway Church’s way of stretching our vision beyond Sunday mornings to actively serve and uplift Peterborough. We believe that loving our neighbours looks like rolling up our sleeves, partnering with local events, and using our gifts for the common good. Whether we’re paddling together for cancer care at the Dragon Boat Festival or hosting family activities in our Fun Zone Tent, ForPTBO invites every Pathway member to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community.
