The Kiwanis Club of Courtenay got to do something many people fantasize about: burn their mortgage document.
The club recently celebrated the milestone of paying off the mortgage on the 750 Pidcock Avenue with a ceremony and celebratory dinner. The event, held on July 5, brought together club members, community leaders, and supporters to commemorate this significant achievement. The evening featured dinner, reflected on the club鈥檚 journey, and the symbolic burning of the mortgage document 鈥� a tradition that signifies financial freedom and long-term commitment to community service.
鈥淭his milestone is a testament to the dedication of our members and the generosity of our community,鈥� said a release from the Kiwanis Club 鈥淧aying off the mortgage means we can now direct even more resources towards the Kiwanis villages and much needed low-income seniors housing here in the Comox Valley."
The Kiwanis Club of Courtenay has been operating in the Comox Valley since 1947.
"Kiwanis doesn鈥檛 just provide housing; it nurtures a lasting family community where residents look out for one another," the release says. "Over generations, the Village has evolved into its own unique identity, standing as a testament to compassion, and support of our senior population. By embracing this legacy, today's Kiwanians ensure that the dreams of the past continue to flourish, paving the way for future generations to build upon a foundation of service and care."
The club is also looking for volunteers. Those interested in joining can email .
