Welcome!   

Welcome to the 6th Annual Viking Boat Races and Festival and Rowing Corporate Challenge: June 12th to 13th, Toronto.  Each team entered means that one inner-city kids team can row for free... you have fun... they have fun... and you get your office out for exercise, teamwork, and all the great events at the festival.

Watch the video below to see the difference you can make for these kids:


We're trying to get at least 200 teams... click here to get started!

Founder of Viking Boat Races and Festival, Dominic Kahn, was recently awarded the Rotary Club Award for Youth Impact in Toronto. Though he may have won the award, it could not have been accomplished without the support of all the teams, individuals and supporters over the years.


We had over 550 kids take part in the Eric the Red Rowing program and we are hoping to increase that number to 1500. Here is a list of schools that participated this year:

  • Blessed John XXIII
  • St. Dunstan
  • Lord Dufferin
  • Duke of Cannaught
  • St. Mary.
