Relay for Life

By Stew Kernan

The Canadian Cancer Society has announced the theme for this year’s Relay for Life.

In honour of the 5,000 relays held in 20 countries, the theme this year is Relay Around the World.

Co-chair Estelle Joliat says this will be the 16th year for the relay.

In Sudbury, the Relay for Life will be held at Laurentian University from 6pm to midnight on Friday June 19th.

It will still have the usual features like the survivors victory lap and the luminary ceremony, but the event will run for just six hours from 6pm to midnight.
