On behalf of your Steering Committee, a huge, heartfelt thank you ♥ We've proven once again that our small community can Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back better than anyone could have predicted!

What Is Relay For Life?
The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life involves teams of 10 people who participate in an overnight non-competitive relay. Participants of all ages take turns walking around the track. Teams pitch tents that are often decorated according to a theme. The event is held overnight to reflect the fact that cancer never sleeps.

What Would I Do As A Team Captain?
Recruit nine other team members. Ensure everyone gets registered. Decide on a team name and theme. Fundraise and support your teammates fundraising initiatives. Co-ordinate on-site roles: bringing supplies, set up and clean up, ensure one member is on the track throughout the night and communicate logistics information (parking, tent location, registration process etc.) Have fun.
What Would I Do As A Team Member?
Register. Fundraise. Help with team responsibilities such as bringing a share of the supplies, and helping with set-up and clean up of the campsite and take your turn on the track. Have fun.
Why Should I Relay?
Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to get together with family, friends, and members of our community to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back in the hope of finding a cure for this terrible disease. Relay is fun, fulfilling, and your participation give strength to our mission to eradicate cancer. Walk with us in this inspirational 12-hour overnight event as we come together and fight to make cancer history. It's a night of fun, laughter, tears, music, great food and amazing company. We're saving lives and you can help.
