Gathering outside for the opening ceremonies, Grade 11 student Danica Mullin welcomed everyone. Grade 8 student Kalainy Jardine, a cancer survivor, shared her experiences and why the event is so important.
The students then followed in behind the community members who are survivors of cancer and who came out to participate in the event. After the outside walk, everyone then went into the gym for the luminary walk.
There was also a BBQ and various outdoor games. The fundraising goal is $5000.00. The school is still taking donations online. You can donate online by clicking here. All proceeds are for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Mr. Hallihan said "Kaden has become an ambassador of our school through his play with the Miramichi Timberwolves. He is always first to give back to his school and community whether it be playing floor hockey or bringing in a championship trophy to get pics with elementary students."
"He is a great student to have in the classroom too, where he is always respectful and has a good sense of humour. It was an exciting year for the Miramichi Timberwolves, and a lot of local fans became part of the #backthepack movement because of Kaden - congrats on the experience."
