Every year, Oak Bay High students wash cars, collect bottles and go door-to-door raising money for the year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Every year the students await the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team to drop by near the end of the 1,000-kilometre cycle of the Island before revealing their funds raised. In 2017 the campaign raised $90, 034 for the cause through fundraisers including car washes, bottle drives and a lunch break filled with head shaves, leg waxing and pies in the face.

The car wash is Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the school, 2121 Cadboro Bay Rd.

Starting on Sept. 22 the Tour de Rock team of 22 riders will cycle more than 1,100 kilometers from Port Alice to Victoria, ending on Oct. 5, an 1,100 km journey.
