In acknowledgement of the 2010 Winter Olympics, we take a look back at the history of recreation in the Comox Valley. Valleyites have a long and diverse record with sports and recreation – skiing, tug-of-wars, fishing and horse racing events to name just a few. This exhibit features images from the CDM?s photographic collection to give an overview of the way we were.
