Meantime, in a typical year the community is getting ready to head up to the CFB North Bay track for the Relay For Life, but COVID-19 has changed things up this year.

Officials have reimagined the fundraiser into ‘Relay At Home’.

The virtual event will unite supporters right across the country and show that no one has to face cancer alone.

There will be interactive activities and all the hallmark components of the in-person event.

“Relay At Home’ goes tomorrow night (Saturday) from 7-9 pm.
