The Rotary Club of Comox Ducky 500 race was another success this year, as all the ducks were sold for the fundraising event.

The race happens every Canada Day, along the Courtenay River.

Record editor Terry Farrell and his wife, Erica (a.k.a. Mr. and Mrs. Editor) attended the race and put together this photo gallery.
