Today, Council, municipal staff, and members of the public came together to raise the Childhood Cancer Awareness flag in recognition of September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This flag serves as a powerful symbol of the immense courage and resilience shown by the children and families in our community who are affected by this disease.

Childhood cancer is a heartbreaking reality that touches far too many lives. However, it is a battle that we all must share. Throughout this month, we unite not only to honour those who bravely confront cancer every day but also to remember those who have tragically lost their fight. Their stories inspire us to advocate for more research, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.

By raising this flag, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to supporting these children and their families. Our community stands strong in this cause, knowing that awareness drives action, and action brings us closer to the day when no child has to endure the burden of cancer.

Together, we can make a profound impact in the lives of those affected by childhood cancer.
