Winter festival events are a go! Poor trail conditions have forced us to cancel the race portion only.
Join us at the Cannington Dog Sled Races & Winter Festival for a fun-filled weekend of pancake breakfasts, ice sculptures and outdoor activities as top teams from across North America take to the field for a fun-filled weekend.
More than 80 dog sled teams from across North America will be competing for a $10,000 purse as the picturesque town of Cannington, Ontario welcomes thousands of spectators to the celebration, billed as one of the best of its kind in Canada.
The Jamaica Dogsled Team (JDT) is coming to the Cannington Dog Sled Races. It may sound crazy at first, but wait until you see him race! Musher Damion Robb will be racing in the 6-Dog as well as the 4-Dog class, which will give everyone the opportunity to see why this is one Jamaican who loves the snow.
Robb spends most of the year in Jamaica at Chukka Cove working for Chukka Caribbean Adventures, one of the team’s sponsors. He trains for his short, fast races with a dry-land dune buggy cart. In 2011 Robb finished first in all his races and was awarded the Ontario Federation of Sleddog Sports Triple Crown Six Dog. He is expected to do well again this season.
