Cancer affects many Canadians, according to the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), approximately one in four Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Over the month of March, the daffodil is the symbol used by CCS as the banner in the fight against cancer.

Lois Dudgeon is the Rural Coordinator for ‘Daffodil Days’ one of the largest fundraising campaigns for CCS.  Dudgeon shares the daffodil was chosen at the beginning of the campaign around 80 years ago as a symbol of hope.

"Daffodils were chosen as one of the first flowers to bloom in the Spring. Daffodils are actually a symbol of resilience and hope, that hope translates into our fight against cancer."
