The Papertown Paddlers won the Founders Division with a time of 2:23.77 at this year’s Sudbury Dragon Boat Festival.
This year, the festival had 45 registered teams and 125 volunteers.
The final figures have not come in yet, but the Hospice “Stand by Me” Campaign has raised $ 5.1 million in the last three years with the help of the Festival, which raised $66,000 last year.
This is only the second year the team took part representing Espanola and the North Shore community.
