London, ON Sept, 2011 – Over 10,000 children in Canada are presently receiving cancer care across this country. 4,000 of them are in Ontario and 1,700 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed this year in Canada and 400 new cases will be diagnosed in Ontario. 2 out of 10 children will not survive their diagnosis.

Monday September 12, 2011 - 6:30 p.m. – City Hall, Dufferin Ave. London

Hundreds of childhood cancer warriors, survivors and bereaved families whose children have not survived childhood cancer will converge on City Hall to watch gold lights being turned on at 7:00 p.m. marking September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Mayor Fontana will address the kids, families, health care staff and the community at large at approximately 6:45 p.m. prior to the lights going on. Just after the lights go on Mayor Fontana will help tie a couple of gold ribbons around trees surrounding City Hall which will be displayed for the remainder of the month in the block surrounding City Hall to show London’s caring spirit. City Hall has approved the flying of the Childhood Cancer Awareness Flag on the Community Flag Pole at Reg Cooper square the week of September 12th -19th which will be visible at tonight’s turning on the lights!

Monday August 29, 2011

In early August Mayor Fontana met with current childhood cancer survivor Leah Bartholomew and three time brain tumour survivor Stephanie Simmons, who started her own campaign of awareness the goldribboncapmaign.org and Stephanie’s sister Pie (pictured here) and community based charity Childcan to discuss how the Mayor and City Council and Londoner’s could help to raise awareness in September in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

“Mayor Fontana and the London City Council approved at the August 29th London City Council meeting that they would like to offer their support and recognition for Childcan and the Gold Ribbon Campaign aimed at making not only Londoner’s but Canadians aware of the thousands of children who are diagnosed with Childhood Cancer each year.”
