At ISL, the Cancer Action Group continues to thrive as a dynamic network of student-led initiatives, where projects are passed on and reimagined every year with each group building on the work of those before them. Among many projects under this group is the Rose Project, carried out in partnership with the Fondation Cancer. This initiative focuses on creating handmade paper roses to offer hope and courage to patients currently undergoing treatment for cancer, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey.

This year, two Grade 11 students took the lead. With the support of a small team, they coordinated the preparation, distribution, and collection process resulting in a total of 220 roses, which were delivered to 3 local hospitals. We spoke with the two student leaders about their inspiration, their process, and what they learned along the way.
