Eighteen teams take part in 12 hours relay around Lakeside Park to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.



Eighteen teams took part in the annual Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life at Rotary Lakeside Park on a soggy Saturday. Participants circled the park for 12 hours as they remembered past battles, encouraged those currently fighting and celebrated the brave who have beaten the disease. The event raised $25,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
