We are excited to invite you to join the department’s annual Run for the Cure team on Sunday, October 6, 2024. This year marks the Economic Department's third year participating in this event for breast cancer.

Please mark your calendars and keep the day open. We aim to double our participation this year. This event is a wonderful investment in our department’s culture. Let’s come together, invest our time, and build a stronger community through this ongoing effort.

You can choose to walk or run, and you are welcome to bring your family and pets. It’s a great opportunity to support a meaningful cause while enjoying a community-oriented experience.

We will take our group picture at 9:00 AM and then begin running/walking at 10:00 AM.

Location: Sir Winston Churchill Park, 301 St. Clair Ave W, Toronto. To check the routes for these runs, visit: https://support.cancer.ca/site/TR/RunfortheCure/RFTC_NW_odd_?fr_id=29885&pg=entry.
