About Ducky 500

BC GAMING LICENSE 149045 / 4000 TICKETS
ALL PROCEEDS SUPPORT WORTH LOCAL CAUSES

2024 marks the 37th Anniversary of the Comox Rotary Ducky 500! We are grateful to the Comox Valley for your continued support. Ticket proceeds will go to help four important needs in our community: homelessness, youth, environment, and health.

In past years, Comox Rotary provided the seed money and initial impetus for the Dawn to Dawn Action on Homelessness Society. The WeCanShelter project, started by our club, built four shipping container homes and the project continues successfully under the We Can Shelter Society with a total of 12 homes built. Our largest community investment was providing $50,000 for the Comox Rotary Splash Park. Recently we collaborated on the Comox Valley Child Development Association Accessibility Ramp project.

The Race

At 1PM we set 4,000 ducks loose in the river at Condensory Bridge. They then race towards the finish line at the 5th Street Bridge, where our Duck wranglers will fish them out of the river. The first eight ducks to make it past the finish line are the prize winners. Winners will be contacted shortly afterward.
This is an environmentally friendly race as our ducks have been used for many years in a row.
