Relay for Life 13 1

Swift Current's Relay for Life is not until June, but preparations for the event are well underway.

An organizational meeting will be held tonight at the Canadian Cancer Society office on 1st Ave NE, which will discuss committee roles and volunteer positions that need to be filled.

"I believe that we still need a survivor chair, which is a fairly big position, and probably require another couple of committee members on that chair," said Arlene McKenzie, ceremony Chair for relay for Life. "There's a few other committees that aren't filled, and this is just the second meeting that we've had. We do have some major ones filled, so that's hopeful."

McKenzie adds there are already a couple of teams registered for the relay, adding it's not too early to do so. You can sign up online, or call Julie Wellsch at the local Canadian Cancer Society office at 306-778-0598.

Relay for Life will be held June 7th at Riverside Park, and a launch will be held May 8th at Market Square.
