The Rotary Club of Comox thanks all volunteers and sponsors that made the 30th annual Ducky 500 race possible. Starting at the Condensory Bridge, 6,500 rubber ducks raced down the Puntledge and Courtenay rivers, finishing near the 5th Street bridge beside Lewis Park, at the end of the Courtenay July 1st parade. All funds raised by selling Ducky tickets will go to charities in the Comox Valley.

The winners were Lee and Shannon Lyster, Derek Kaufman, Ellen van Heerden, Lorne Harder, Theresa Brulotte, Christopher Carter, Suzanne Healy, Ryan Poole, Andrew Buckland, and Steve and Stephanie Allardice.

First prize was a three night trip for two to the Grizzly Bear Lodge, or $5,000 cash. Second prize was a family getaway for four to Calgary Zoo, or $3,000 cash. Third prize was a two night stay at Painter鈥檚 Lodge, or $1,500 cash.
