CAYUGA—It was a bittersweet moment as a large group of students, staff, cancer survivors, and OPP members gathered for Cayuga Secondary School’s annual Relay For Life event.
On one hand, there was reason to celebrate as the May 9, 2025 event raised an incredible $43,982 for cancer research through the Canadian Cancer Society. On the other, this year’s relay marked the last in the long tenure of popular teacher, coach, and mentor Jonathan Mann, set to retire at the end of the current school year.
To celebrate Mann’s commitment to Relay for Life, he received a King Charles III Coronation Medal, which recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region, or community of Canada.
