Espanola Mayor Doug Gervais, members of council and staff, were on hand for the raising of the NOFCC flag marking the month. Prior to the raising of the flag, Mayor Gervais signed the proclamation supporting the Northern Ontario Families of Children with Cancer and its volunteers and programs. Rosalind Russell represents the NOFCC at the local level as a member of the NOFCC Gold Soiree Committee and also advocates for the organization as part of her role as Morning Host at the Moose 99.3 FM CJJM, which hosts the Annual Heart of Gold Radiothon in September to raise funds for the organization and its programs.
