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.
