Since 2008, Sun Life Hong Kong (“Sun Life”) has sponsored the “Sun Life Stanley International Dragon Boat Championships” for 16 consecutive years. This year, the Championships will be held at the Dragon Boat Festival on June 10 at Stanley Main Beach. The event is set to attract over 150 teams from Hong Kong and abroad, with more than 5,500 paddlers participating. It offers the public an opportunity to enjoy the thrilling excitement of dragon boat races up close. The event is family-friendly and not to be missed!
In an effort to protect our environment, the following environmental protection measures will be implemented on the event day:
- Free water stations: Free carboy water dispensers will be provided, encouraging the pubic to bring their own water bottles to promote a plastic-free culture;
- Recycling initiatives: Waste reduction measures, supported by The Green Earth, a local NGO that focuses on environmental education, will be in place. These measures aim to emphasize the importance of reducing waste at the source and to raise public awareness about recycling.
