Excitement is already building in Oxbow, as the community prepares to host its first Relay for Life.

According to Chairperson Sherlynne Best, the Canadian Cancer Society has put forth a new theme this year, 'Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back'.

 

She says organizers hope to recruit at least one-hundred and fifty survivors and sixty teams of ten for the major event, which raises money for cancer research, patient programs, and support groups.

 

The twelve hour relay begins Friday, June 6th.
