  • 30-second festival preview on the July 14th CBC Evening News
     CBC July 14th, 1999, 11:59pm
    With the 4th Annual Montreal Dragon Boat Festival a week away, in preparation for the 1999 races, organizers held a demonstration race for the media & other local dignitaries. Our team was one of a handful of local teams invited to participate in the race. Aside from the above photo in Le Devoir, the team was also shown prominently in a 7-second clip & later that evening in a 30-second festival preview on the July 14th CBC Evening News.

    • Le Devoir

  • Les bateaux-dragons à l'île Notre-Dame
    By Jacques Nadeau - Le Devoir July 15th, 1999, Page A3
    For the 3rd year in a row, the Wong Wun Sun Dragonboat Team makes it into the media. This time, it was a photo on page A3 of the July 15th issue of the French newspaper, Le Devoir. It was taken at the Festival Media Preview Race (see CBC Evening News above).

    • Télévision Quatre-Saison

    On July 21st, 1999, the DragonHearts & members of it's crew were filmed by a cameraman from the French Television Quatre-Saison TV Station during their final practice before the races. It was to be aired on the weekend after the first day's races. However, everyone was too tired to stay up to watch the late news to see if we were on or not. They interviewed DragonHeart'er Ron Denault for about 5 minutes so I guess some of that must have made it.
