The Duck Race in South Mountain – in which 1,000 floating replica ducks are dropped into the South Nation River to “race” in the water current flow from County Road 1 to Bridge Street every year – isn’t just about having some light-hearted fun. The annual event also raises money for worth causes!
This year’s event took place on May 4, run by St. Daniel Knights of Columbus Council 11725, with permission from the Township of North Dundas and South Nation Conservation. As reported by Knights of Columbus representative, Richard Pickard, the charitable donations resulting from the funds raised are as follows:
- $500.00 to Dundas County Hospice
Dundas County Hospice donation presented to Catherine Clement - $1,000.00 to Community Food Share
Community Food Share donation presented to Angie Holmes - $1,000.00 to WDMH Foundation (Diagnostic Imaging Fund)
WDMH Diagnostic Imagine Fund donation presented to Justine Plummer - $1,000.00 to WDMH Foundation (New Dundas Manor)
New Dundas Manor donation presented to Cindy Ault Peters
Thanks to all those who bought tickets to the event, and those who enjoyed the BBQ. Your money was truly well spent, right here in North Dundas!
