Sponsor Spotlight: CERTISPEC

The Inlet Spring Regatta is proud to welcome CERTISPEC as a sponsor of our 2026 event at Rocky Point Park on April 25. Their support helps strengthen not only this growing dragon boat regatta, but also the broader sense of community that defines our waterfront.

CERTISPEC is a Canadian-based organization recognized for its commitment to quality, safety, and professional certification services. Their work supports industries and organizations that rely on high standards, accountability, and trust—values that resonate strongly within the sport of dragon boating.

As teams prepare, train, and race on the waters of Burrard Inlet, safety, preparation, and teamwork are paramount. These same principles guide CERTISPEC’s approach to their work, making their partnership with the Inlet Spring Regatta a natural fit.

“Certispec is thrilled to be supporting the Inlet Spring Regatta! We look forward to meeting the community and experiencing dragon boating for the first time. We can't wait!”
Glen Todd, President, CERTISPEC

One of the most exciting aspects of this sponsorship is CERTISPEC’s enthusiasm for experiencing dragon boating firsthand. The Regatta is not only a competitive sporting event—it’s an invitation for businesses, families, athletes, and spectators to connect with the water, the park, and each other. Sponsors like CERTISPEC help make that possible.

Hosted by the Nothin’ Dragon Paddling Society at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, the Inlet Spring Regatta celebrates teamwork, inclusion, and community pride. Support from organizations such as CERTISPEC allows the event to continue growing while maintaining a strong focus on safety, organization, and positive participant experiences.

Nothin’ Dragon is grateful to CERTISPEC for investing in community sport and for helping bring paddlers together on the water this spring.
