TORONTO, June 7, 2025 /CNW/ - The 18 th annual The Princess Margaret Ride to Conquer Cancer, presented by Johnson & Johnson, commenced this morning with over 4,000 riders departing from Sherway Gardens, Toronto in a group peloton. At the same time, more than 400 riders began their journey from the Niagara-on-the-Lake start line. Both groups will converge at McMaster University in Hamilton for overnight camp later today. This year's Ride sets a record for funds raised with $20.61 million, surpassing the previous record of $20.6 million set in 2024. United in their mission to create a world free from the fear of cancer, all riders are taking on the two-day, 200+ km journey to Niagara-on-the-Lake in support of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, one of the world's leading cancer research and treatment centres. "Cancer remains one of the greatest global health threats of our time," said Dr. Miyo Yamashita, President and CEO of The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. "Yet, through the unwavering dedication of our Ride community— riders, donors, supporters and volunteers, together we are transforming the way cancer is understood, prevented, diagnosed and treated in Canada and around the world." Among the riders was Dana Fox, who knows firsthand the importance of this cause. Diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, Dana is currently undergoing treatment at The Princess Margaret but is committed to completing the 200km journey. "You are fueling hope, you are funding discovery, and you are changing lives," Dana rallied to the crowd in his opening ceremony's patient remarks. "This isn't just a fundraiser. This is a movement." Participants have collectively raised an astounding $20.61 million this year, bringing The Ride's all-time fundraising total to more than $320.61 million since its inception in 2008. These funds directly support life-saving cancer research and patient care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, one of the world's leading cancer research and treatment centres. As The Ride's 2025 Honourary Chairs, Nicholas and Lia Fidei said, "After witnessing some of the success stories and meeting cancer patients who have overcome cancer, there is no doubt in our minds how much we need to support The Ride and the advancements in cancer research that The Princess Margaret is renowned for." Nicholas, President of Treasure Hill and President of the Nicholas Fidei Foundation, and this year's top individual fundraiser also added, "No other fundraising event that I have participated in has inspired me to greater achievements." All riders are now making their way to Hamilton, where they'll be welcomed by cheering family and friends, enjoy a hot meal at camp ceremonies and spend the night at McMaster University. On Day 2, they'll continue their journey to the finish line at Peller Estates Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Prime Minister Carney announces Canada's G7 priorities ahead of the Leaders' Summit Français
OTTAWA, ON, June 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Fifty years ago, in the face of upheaval and geopolitical tensions, a small group of advanced economies formed what is now the G7 – a forum for co-operation, stability, and shared prosperity. In 2025, as global challenges intensify, the G7 must meet this moment with purpose and with force. Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced the priorities that will guide Canada's 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit, to be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025. Anchored in building stronger economies, Canada will seek agreements and co-ordinated action on three core missions: Protecting our communities and the world – strengthening peace and security, countering foreign interference and transnational crime, and improving joint responses to wildfires. Building energy security and accelerating the digital transition – fortifying critical mineral supply chains and using artificial intelligence and quantum to unleash economic growth. Securing the partnerships of the future – catalyzing enormous private investment to build stronger infrastructure, create higher-paying jobs, and open dynamic markets where businesses can compete and succeed. Other discussions will include a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and other areas of conflict around the world, and a forward-looking agenda that engages partners beyond the G7, recognizing that our long-term security and prosperity will depend on building coalitions with reliable partners and common values. Quote "Canada has what the world wants and the values to which others aspire. The G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis is a moment for Canada to work with reliable partners to meet challenges with unity, purpose, and force. Canada is ready to lead." — The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada Quick Facts This is the seventh time that Canada has held the Presidency of the G7.
