The Mid Island Branch of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Association has made a $500 donation to the Comox Valley Recovery Centre, supporting residential addiction recovery services for men from the Comox Valley and communities across Vancouver Island.

Mid Island Branch President Jim MacMillan-Murphy notes recovery takes discipline, accountability, and the support of others.

He says those are values they believe strongly in, and the donation is their way of supporting a local organization that helps people rebuild their lives with structure, purpose, and dignity.

The Comox Valley Recovery Centre is an independent, nonprofit registered charity that has supported men in addiction recovery on Vancouver Island since 1976.

Marking its 50th anniversary in 2026, the Centre is a cornerstone of local recovery services, helping men regain stability, rebuild their lives, and return to their communities with stronger supports.

The recovery centre operates as a fee-for-service supportive recovery residence, providing structured, abstinence-based residential programs for men aged 19 and older.

Programs include 30, 60, and 90 day stays, along with counselling, transitional housing, and reintegration support.

The Centre is not a hospital and is not part of Island Health or the publicly funded health care system.

The PPCLI Association is a Canada-wide, member-based nonprofit that supports soldiers, veterans, and families connected to the regiment.
