Dragon Boat Club (formerly the Belleville Paddling Club) is one of Belleville's most active sports and recreation clubs. The BDBC is dedicated to fun, fitness and team-building, both on the water and off, offering programs for all ages from 14 years old to seniors. We offer instruction and training in all areas of Dragon Boating for all levels of expertise: from novice to competitive status. Since it's inception, the Belleville Dragon Boat Club has been proud to be a community based and completely volunteer run, non-profit organization. We strive to be good citizens of Belleville and the Quinte region. To that end we run several annual events to help raise money for our community. In addition to supporting the Belleville community we have strong ties to several of our neighbouring dragon boating teams and events. We have worked with the Wellington Lions Club and the Cobourg Dragon Boat Club with their dragon boat festivals. BDBC practices and events commence from Victoria Park on the Bay of Quinte, in the City of Belleville Ontario

Our Vision Statement Is An Important First Step. It Explains What The Association Wants To Become. It Cannot Be Used To Describe The Current Association, But Refers To A Future State Toward Which As A Whole We Choose To Move. It Has Been Suggested That We Wish To Become:
Ruth's first volunteer experience took place in Newfoundland, where she relocated to be near her husband, Freeman Burrows, who was serving in the navy. Work at the Red Cross in St. John's marked the beginning of her life of helping others. Soon after World War Two ended, Ruth and Freeman Burrow moved to Belleville along with their two lovely daughters Diane and Evelyn Louise. The Burrows purchased an old Victorian home on Bridge Street. Friends of the family remember Ruth as very giving. She had the gift of making everyone feel welcome. She was a quiet, gentle soul always looking for new ways to help the community.
Community Organized Support & Prevention (COSP) is a non-profit community agency, which is under the administration of a volunteer Board of Directors. It offers community-based justice related programs for adults and young persons.COSP grew out of the visionary pursuits of a local judge who, in 1974 began using community based sentencing as a meaningful alternative to fines, which were becoming an ineffective deterrent to shoplifting. What has evolved from the concepts and endeavors of many volunteers is a comprehensive response to many justice programs.
