• News and announcements

  Daffodil Month

  Daffodil Month, held every April, is a national fundraising campaign of the Canadian Cancer Society with volunteers involved in numerous activities to raise money for the fight against cancer. Money raised during Daffodil Month helps cancer patients and their families in your community. Donations fund life-saving cancer research, support services and other important work that means fewer Canadians will be affected by the disease, and can enhance the lives of people living with cancer.

  Relay For Life

  At Relay For Life, no one faces cancer alone. This event brings together teams of family, friends and colleagues to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those we’ve lost and commit to raising funds to fight all types of cancer. Relay For Life is a community of people fighting back against cancer.
