country from British Columbia.
Each truck makes about 25 stops in
Ontario to deliver daffodils to
Canadian Cancer Society
volunteers in villages, towns and
cities throughout the province.
There would be no Daffodil Days
without community involvement.
Each year, companies organize pre
sales with their employees. The
flowers are delivered by volunteers.
The target for Daffodil Days across
Ontario is $2.4 million this year.

Buying daffodils helps to fund
the best cancer research across
Canada. The Canadian Cancer
Society is the single largest source
for funding cancer research in
Canada.
This research has helped produce
new knowledge to help us
understand the causes of cancer.
The discoveries over the last 20
years have set the stage for a new
era in cancer research in which
improved detection and effective
treatments will reduce the burden
of cancer.
Almost every Canadian will
experience cancer either personally,
