Spring into MILTON CANADIAN CHAMPION | Thursday, April 6, 2017 | 6 i of the Canadian Cancer Society ; Cancer, as we know, doesn‘t discriminate. | It manifests itself in men and women â€" no matter their age, race or religion. It‘s a nasty disease that, on average, robs more than 200 Canadians of life cvery single day, making it the leading cause of death in Canada. Leading the fight against this devastating illâ€" ness is the Canadian Cancer Society, which is dedicated to eradicating cancer and improvâ€" ing the quality of life of those battling the | disease. The notâ€"forâ€"profit organization plays a vital role in the lives of those affected by cancer. | Not only does it fund lifeâ€"saving research, it offers muchâ€"needed supports to those living | with cancer, brave souls currently undergoâ€" ing treatments, courageous cancer survivors, their caregivers and loved ones. The Canadian Cancer Society‘s strong supâ€" port network has proven invaluable in assistâ€" ing families better understand the terrifying realities of this disease. Since the 1940s, it has channelled more than $1.3 billion into medical research. And these investments have paid off â€" big time. According to the Society, the fiveâ€"year canâ€" cer survival rate has increased from 25 per cent to more than 60 per cent. This kind of accomplishment in only a few short decades is a remarkable feat that wouldn‘t have been made possible without your generous supâ€" port. Every April, Canadians from coast to coast are provided with an opportunity to join this important fight and contribute to putting an end to cancer during the Society‘s annual Daffodil Campaign. In Milton, you can purchase bright, colourâ€" ful daffodil pins from volunteers manning booths at various retail outlets across town. The sale of yellow pins offers a blooming boost to the Canadian Cancer Society â€" and so much more, as these pins are a symbol of strength and courage. This month, pin a pretty daffodil to your lapel as a show of support to those living with canâ€" cer. Your contributions â€" big or small â€" will go a long way to abolishing this devastating disease. action in support mion | | | Champion Tracks Rodney and Rosa . , Reilly visit Patagonia, Argentina with a copy of their favourite comâ€" munity newspaper.

The Sixteen Mile Creek had never been so high after rain. in the East Ward it overflowed its banks and the flood extendâ€" ed to the Foster Street hill. This had never happened except when | caused by an ice jam. There was a large pond the station. Many cellars were flooded. | East of the town, every water course and ditch | on level land overflowed, in some cases covâ€" ering the roads with water. There was a washâ€" out on the 2nd line, near F.C. Willmott‘s. The storm did a great deal of good to crops and grass is growing fast.
