The WICAC is a non-profit charity organization dedicated to providing an annual donation to The Canadian Cancer Society and other local charities.
The WICAC, formerly known as 'Jimbo's Crusade Against Cancer,' was founded nine years ago by Jim Morrison as a one-day Squash Rackets Marathon. The scope of the campaign has increased considerably since ,inception; monies donated have risen from $1,200 in the first year to over $50,000 in recent years. Jim Morrison has been awarded the "Queen's Jubilee Medal" for his charity work.
All WICAC personnel are volunteers. The personnel comprises of an active committee of six supported by a network of over 100 volunteer workers.
The WICAC organizes and runs sporting, entertainment and cultural activities and performances throughout the year. The intent is to involve all ages, all capabilities and all interests, and all sections of society so these events become, not only a pleasure, but also a learning, working and development experience engendering community involvement. These events are throughout the year but the culmination and centrepoint of activities is in April with a full day's extravaganza. Typical acts performing throughout the day have been Bowser and Blue and members of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and Ernie Butler's Comedy Nest Road Show.
WICAC is an independent group of concerned West Island citizens who feel a desire to contribute to society and the community they live in. For more information about us, visit our web site at http://www.wicac.ca.
