C.R.I.C. operates as a non-profit organization of volunteers raising and administering funds for recreational and cultural group activities and projects serving the Tottenham community.
A group of nine individuals from the Tottenham community served as the first members of C.R.I.C. in 1979. These members were: Ron Coulson, Brian Duggan, Jay Feehely, Paul Feehely, Jim Golden, Ian Mollett, Tom Perry, John Stiver and Kerry Worrod.
This group wanted to create an annual fundraising event to give back to the community's recreational and cultural activities and facilities.
C.R.I.C. is proud to have invested over $500,000 in our community. Visit the PROJECTS page to learn more.
