Giving Back in Courtenay
In 2022, the City of Courtenay allocated its share of provincial gambling revenue from hosting Chances Courtenay to a range of community causes and cultural initiatives.
Funds supported downtown arts and culture through ongoing annual support of the Courtenay & District Historical Society and Sid Williams Theatre Society, as well as the Comox Valley Art Gallery. Gambling revenue also funded infrastructure projects, and public safety and security be providing funding for two ongoing RCMP positions in the community.
