Residents won't see the familiar faces of Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) volunteers selling fresh daffodils during this month's Daffodil Days fundraising campaign. Instead, the organization and its volunteers are backing sales of its daffodil pins, which are available at LCBOs, grocery stores and numerous local shops. The sale of fresh daffodils will instead occur at Loblaw, Zehrs, Valu-Mart, Real Canadian Superstore Daffodils, the Canadian Cancer Society and Your Indepensymbol of hope dent Grocer locations throughout the province. Fresh daffodils will be sold there exclusively for $5 per bunch -- $2 of which will go to the CCS. see Daffodil on p.8 · HOME · AUTO · LIFE · BUSINESS · AV I AT I O N T H E M A G N E S G RO U P I N C . 1540 Cornwall Rd., Suite #100, Oakville, ON L6J 7W5 Tel: 905-845-9793 Fax: 905-845-9149 www.magnesgroup.com END INSURANCE CONFUSION.
