During each year we participate in the following: i.e. City of Edmonton Health & Wellness Fair Run for the Cure monthly visits to Compassion House (support of people from rural areas undergoing cancer treatment in Edmonton). In 2025 we are expanding and improving our training program and hope to participate in additional festivals which host a survivor race to help spread the word across Canada. We will continue to attend several community events promoting our team and awareness throughout the year.
