SATURDAY MAY 2nd, 2009
IN CARP, ONTARIO
Hosted by the Ottawa Public Library Foundation

For runners, walkers and cyclists of all ages

The Diefenbooker Classic has proven to be a huge success for the promotion of health in the community, and for fundraising for the West Carleton Branches of the Ottawa Public Library. This has been our thirteenth year and we are pleased to welcome the Diefenbunker, Canada's Cold War Museum, as a joint beneficiary of the fundraising.

Once again, our title sponsor was the West Carleton Medical-Dental Centre, including the West Carleton Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic. Support from both new and returning sponsors has been fabulous.


 
The start of yet another
successful Diefenbooker Classic
