Every Canadian Cancer Society volunteer is a valued team member supporting those who have been touched by cancer, and Marguerite Hughes is no exception
Hughes has been instrumental in the organization of the wig room which in this past year alone, has loaned out more than 100 wigs complete with styling and maintenance instructions.
The wig room also provides turbans, hats, scarves, and night caps (made and donated mainly by Telus Community Ambassadors).
“This service is provided for those who have, or are, losing their hair due to cancer,” said Wendy Stewart, president of the Vernon unit of the society.
Hughes has recently handed over the running of the wig room to fellow volunteer Camille Garland.
“Although Marguerite will remain as a valued volunteer, we would like to express our gratitude for her dedication to CCS and her community,” said Stewart.”
