Proclamation

Comox Cupid Day

Whereas – Since 2021, Comox Cupid has been fostering a sense of love and connection among the residents of the Comox Valley, spreading joy and strengthening community bonds through acts of kindness and creativity.

Whereas – Each year, The Flowerman leads a series of whimsical and heartfelt events, lovingly referred to as “shenanigans,” that inspire connection and camaraderie, proving that small gestures of love can make a big difference.

Whereas – The purchase of red roses, specialty chocolates, and pet treats is made possible through the generosity of diverse contributors, from local citizens to corporate sponsors, all of whom recognize the unique ability of this joyous tradition to brighten lives and create lasting memories.

Whereas – The charm and magic of Comox Cupid Day, complete with the iconic LOVE BUS and its fearless captain dressed as Cupid—a man in a large yellow diaper adorned with flowers and a whimsical bow and arrow—brings laughter and delight to schools, seniors’ homes, fire halls, retail stores, mental health agencies, the RCMP detachment, and beyond.

Whereas – The mission of The Flowerman, Comox Cupid, and his team of enthusiastic volunteers is beautifully simple: to make someone smile—a goal that is achieved every year with resounding success.

Now, therefore, I, Mayor Bob Wells, proudly proclaim February 14th, 2025, as

Comox Cupid Day

In the City of Courtenay

And encourage all residents to embrace the spirit of love, kindness, and community that makes this day so extraordinary. Together, let us continue to spread joy, one smile at a time.

Signed this 2nd day of February, 2025.

Mayor Bob Wells

City of Courtenay
