Events Description
The annual Accora Village Bed Race for the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa is one of the highlights of Winterlude. 30 teams of 4 runners and one rider compete with modified and decorated beds for honours and prizes as the fastest bed, the best decorated bed and the best fund raisers.
The event begins with a parade of beds where judges select the best decorated bed, and is followed by heats of 4 beds racing a 50 metre course.
Since 1917 the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa has been active in fund raising and community involvement as a not-for-profit organization. The largest Kiwanis Club in Canada, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa is one of the most active and dynamic service clubs in the world. Each year the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa provides thousands of hours of community service and raises $500,000 for the local community. One of the 8,000 Clubs in Kiwanis International, the Club has met every Friday since 1917. Projects carried on by Kiwanis in the Ottawa area include the Kiwanis Music Festival, Air Cadets, Key Club and Direct Assistance.
