Breaking News - Two new sites using GreenCMS

Two new NPO's are currently using the GreenCMS system. 

Tsolum River Rescue Society (http://www.tsolumriver.org/).  The Tsolum River Restoration Society was formed in September 1998 . Since that time they have developed an effective rapport with our community and all the agencies that are involved in the watershed. They have instituted a hatchery program for pink salmon, completed stock and habitat assessments, seen the completion of some 20 or more restoration projects and developed community outreach and landowner contact programs that have helped those living along the river understand how to better help the ecosystem.

Comox Valley Road Runners (http://cvrr.ca/).  The Comox Valley Road Runners (CVRR) was founded May 7, 1980. Dick Merrick was first club president. He was succeeded by Bent Harder, who served until 1989. Early leaders were Gary Holt, Sally Kunz, Alex Stuart, and John Crouch.

The club's first organized running event was the Cumberland Empire Days 3 Miler on May 18, 1981. In May of 1985, Leo Vogel of the CVRR organized a relay run to Victoria to hand over a donation cheque to Steve Fonyo. A team of ten runners moved a baton with over $6,000 from Courtenay to Victoria in just over 16 hours. This event stimulated John Crouch and others to establish the Island Relay as an annual event.

In 1992, club members Al Munday and John Ingram were instrumental in working with the local Rotary Club to establish the first 24 Hour Relay to benefit St. Joseph's Hospital in Comox. Over the next four years the event raised over $140,000. In 1998 the CVRR made a charitable donation of $2.00 per entrant from the Comox Valley 1/2 Marathon. The Jingle Bell Run contributes to the local food bank.

The annual CVRR Running Clinic, organized and presented by the club, is a popular community event introducing running as a fitness and social activity. The clinic instructs over 100 new runners for ten weeks, culminating in a 5K Fun Run.
