Terrace Rotary Club’s Wild Duck Race makes a splash at 2023 Riverboat Days celebrations

Residents raised $39,000, as Colin Mohr won the $25,000 grand prize

The Terrace Rotary Club’s 2023 Wild Duck Race is now history, with residents flocking to participate in the annual event that marked the highlight of this year’s Riverboat Days celebrations.

On Aug. 7, the Skeena River was awash with excitement as thousands of numbered rubber duckies were released from the sky, using a helicopter, between the city’s two main bridges.
