A Message from the President – Looking Back on Spring and Ahead to an Exciting Summer

As we close another wonderful spring season, I want to take a moment to reflect on everything we have accomplished together at Dreamers Walk Canada.

First and foremost, thank you to every volunteer, board member, staff member, community partner, sponsor, and supporter who has dedicated their time and energy to our mission. Your commitment to creating a more inclusive and accessible community continues to inspire me every day.

Celebrating Our Graduates

This month, I would like to recognize three outstanding members of our senior leadership team who have reached an important milestone by graduating from high school.

Congratulations to:

• Justin Camarero

• Hana Sobhy

• Louka Tetreault

  
  

Your dedication both in school and within Dreamers Walk Canada has been truly inspiring. We are incredibly proud of each of you and look forward to watching you continue to grow as leaders and advocates in our community.

A Historic First for the Dreamer Dragons

One of the highlights of this spring was the debut of our Dreamer Dragons team at the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival.

Our team proudly earned 3rd place in our race on June 20, an incredible achievement for our first year competing. More importantly, the event showcased the power of teamwork, inclusion, determination, and community spirit.

Thank you to every paddler, volunteer, supporter, and coach who helped make this dream a reality.

Planning is already underway for our 2027 Dreamer Dragons season. More information will be released this fall, along with exciting fundraising events and community activities that will directly support the team.

The leadership team for the 2027 season will be announced following DreamFest 2026.
