Canadian Chinese Youth Athletics Association kicked off its 2013 Power Through Paddling program in the spring, which trains young athletes in preparation for the annual Toronto International Dragonboat Festival Race held on June 22-23 this year.

This season's inaugural event was highlighted with a special guest speaker, Cabral "Cabbie" Richards, who spent the day with CCYAA and inspired the PTP participants with his own story of hard work and achievement, including hilarious recounts of his interviews with superstars including Michael Jordan.
