In benefit of the Nanaimo Child Development Centre   



The History of the Silly Boat Regatta, Nanaimo, BC



Since 1984, the Silly Boat Regatta has been a premiere community event that has raised awareness and money for the Nanaimo Child Development Centre (NCDC). The inaugural Silly Boat Regatta, organized by 1570 CHUB Radio raised over $4,000 for children in our community. Now the event is organized by the Nanaimo Child Development Centre and plays host to nearly 10,000 participants and spectators. Last year the Silly Boat Regatta raised over $107,000 in support of specialized programs and services to children and their families who require assistance from the NCDC.

Community members made up of service clubs, businesses, families and individuals form teams to raise pledges, construct their idea of the silliest boat and endeavor to race around a buoy in the Inner Harbour and back to shore without capsizing, all of this to the roar of applause from a crowd of spectators. There are trophies, awards and prizes to be won. Most of all it is a great time for the whole family. Silly Boat Regatta definitely puts the fun in fundraising.
