Family, friends and volunteers will gather to celebrate cancer survivors and lost loved ones in Chester and Yarmouth. Both communities will hold Relay for Life events this evening. The 12-hour relay is the Canadian Cancer Society's signature event and helps support research, prevention and advocacy. The event in Chester will be held at the Middle School while the Mariners Centre will serve as the site in Yarmouth. Opening Ceremonies for both relay's get underway at 7 o'clock.
