The Stratford Sirens is the high performance women's crew of the Stratford Dragon Boat Club. The original team was purpose built in January of 2000 specifically to race at the Canadian Championships at the Vancouver (Alcan) Dragon Boat Festival on June 17-18, 2000. The team was made up of members from the two Stratford Dragon Boat Club teams - Hunter Steel Dragons of Steel and The Stratford Metal Products Women's Team.
The Stratford Sirens team was one of three Canadian Club Crew Women's teams that have qualified to race at the Rome, Italy IDBF World Club Crew Championships on September 6-8, 2002. The women's team of the Stratford Dragon Boat Club is currently the "Stratford Women" sponsored by Stratford Metal Products and races together through out the season as a club crew. No Sirens type of all-star women's team is currently in the works although the best Junior Women paddlers will be included with the Stratford Women for any up coming qualifiers.
