Relay For Life supports the Canadian Cancer Society's funding critical cancer research, compassionate cancer support programs and leading cancer prevention initiatives.

It is an inspiring event that brings together more than 160,000 people throughout Canada to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and empower individuals and communities to fight back against cancer. Relay brings people in your community together who have a common goal of fighting cancer. Join us in this inspirational, non-competitive, 6-hour event.

Until you take part you won’t feel the passion, the inspiration, and the hope that participants share at Relay For Life. Relay begins with a celebration of courageous cancer survivors taking the inaugural Victory Lap that sends a message that there is always hope. Then, there is time during Relay when participants take a moment to remember cherished loved ones in a moving luminary ceremony.

Our last ceremony reminds us that we Relay because we have been affected by cancer and desperately want to put an end to suffering and loss caused by this disease. The fight back ceremony is a time to make a personal commitment to improve your health, the health of your family and your community. Every step taken during Relay For Life helps the Canadian Cancer Society save lives.
