Light is seen as a symbol of life, hope, guidance and truth. This December a light display in the darkest month of the year will inspire, encourage, and uplift those touched by cancer while raising funds in support of CancerCare Manitoba.
1,000 lights will shine for all to see in December at the CancerCare Manitoba building at 675 McDermot Ave, representing those we cherish in memory, honour today, and for the people providing care along the way.
The Display:
Strings of white lights will hang in the stairwell windows of the CancerCare Manitoba building from the 7th to main floor, illuminating the surrounding area.
Recognizing The Honourees:
Each light shining represents a special individual.
