Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

The City of Sherbrooke will mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by lighting up the front of City Hall in yellow until Sept. 8.
Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among young people. In the Eastern Townships, the Leucan organization supports nearly 200 families affected by a type of childhood cancer. Several fundraising activities are organized in the region to raise funds to support research. “Children are the wealth and the future of a society. With this gesture, we want to show our compassion for them and their families, who must fight a daily battle against cancer,” Sherbrooke Mayor Steve Lussier said.
