Volunteer Comox

[Kyla]

A group of volunteer Comox together with my brother is heading to different places in Canada. They have been doing this kind of activities for about one year now. I’m interested to join their group but my brother said that I’m too young for this kind of activities. Are there any organizations that offer volunteer works for high school?

What does "comox" mean?

Hello Professor!

Thanks for reading my post, Comox is a town. The Comox Valley, on Vancouver Island British Columbia, is such a place where the sights, sounds and attractions convey - this is a destination like no other.

Oh, it is not! But is it really? Why would anyone name a town "Comox"? Why not Philadelphia, or Los Angeles, or St. Louis?

Oh, my, Professor! You are in for a liberal education. Why indeed do people give cities such strange
names? My dad lived at BZ Corners, Washington. I used to live near Onalaska, Washington. Which
was reasonably close to Pe Ell. We have not begun to scratch the surface of strange city names!
