Emergency service crews that took part in this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de North wrapped up their seven day ride on Thursday in Prince Rupert. According to the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), the annual event raised $245,545.26, which will go towards childhood cancer research and programs like Camp Goodtimes. During their journey, riders made stops at events across Northern BC to engage local communities, businesses and schools en route, raising funds. In the last five years, CCS invested $13 million in childhood cancer research, contributing to improved outcomes as the 5-year survival rate for childhood cancer is now 84%, compared to 71% in the 1980s.
