The challenges of competition can be timulating and enjoyable. But when beating the opponent takes precedence in the mind over performing as well as possible, enjoyment tends to disappear. Competition is enjoyable only when it is a means to perfect one's skills; when it becomes an end in itself, it ceases to be fun ~~Csikszentmihalyi, M. (1990) Enjoyment and the Quality of life

About us

The history of the team has been lost in the distant annals of time… But its traditions and values live on In the teams and rowers of today.

We believe in:

Doing Our Best that we are accountable only to ourselves and our conscience, and so long as we have done our best, we have nothing to be ashamed of

Believing In Ourselves That when push comes to shove, we dig deep within ourselves

Believing In Each Other That we will stand up as a team, against all adversity

Humility That quiet confidence wins respect, not arrogance.

But most of all, we believe in

Friendship That when things get rough, we can lean on each other

And so, through the years, through many teams, many captains, many coaches, and many teachers, the ACJC Canoeing and Dragonboat Team has evolved and changed. Each Team, each year, with its own character, its own personality, its own desire for success.

Some years, we win. Some years we don’t.

But the Team doesn’t rest on its laurels, nor does it focus on past glories. Each year we strive to be better. And each year we remember that what makes a team great is not medals or championships, but Character, Humility, and Friendship.
