PRINCE GEORGE–The 27th Annual Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life came and went this weekend at Exhibition Park.

The 24 hour relay consisted of participants walking around a track and even staying the night in a tent as music, games, food and speeches filled the night.

The Luminary Ceremony was one of the highlights of the night, with around 2,000 people in attendance. The small paper bags with written messages scribbled on them remembering those who fought and continue to fight the battle against cancer were layed around the outside of the track.
