Join Harjeet and others by sharing your story with elected officials so that any decisions made by government about our cancer care system can draw on the lived experiences of people facing cancer and their loved ones.

Your voice is powerful. There are lots of ways you can take action right now to help make cancer care better. This #WorldCancerDay, we're asking people across the country to join us in calling on governments to help cancer care get better.

Childhood cancer is the number one cause of disease-related death in Canadian children. We believe that one child with cancer is too many.

Let’s reframe the way we think about self-care this #InternationalSelfCareDay. Self-care means taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally AND physically. Today and every day, we encourage you to manage your health by knowing your body.

We agree that palliative care is not only for people at the end of their lives. It can offer physical, emotional, social and spiritual support for people with cancer at any stage - provided it is available where and when they need it.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads and father figures in our lives! For all those who are no longer with us, we will continue to hold them in our hearts – today and every day. 💛

This week, we celebrate National Immunization Awareness Week across the country. Did you know that HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines help reduce risk of infection-related cancers? #NIAW2022 #VaccinesWork Learn more here: bit.ly/3OFUujF

Finding out you have cancer means life changes pretty quickly. An advance care plan can help you and your family be on the same page about your wishes so you can focus on what’s most important. April 16 is #ACPDay2022. Learn more at: cancer.ca/en/living-with-can…

It was such a pleasure for us at CCS to sit with @theJagmeetSingh to talk about the Daffodil Campaign and the most pressing cancer issues in our community. Thank you for helping to spread the message of hope to those affected by cancer this spring.

Hope is more than a feeling. It’s breakthrough discoveries, quiet acts of care, roars of support. These are the things that give hope life. So that more Canadians with cancer can live longer, fuller lives. Learn how you can help hope bloom by supporting our #DaffodilCampaign. 💛

This year, you can help hope bloom on Tiltify! From livestreaming games to hosting online challenges, Tiltify is an easy-to-use tool for you to host your fundraiser and make a difference in the lives of Canadians affected by cancer. tiltify.com/canadian-cancer-…

As public health measures change, it is especially important that people with cancer, and those who are in close contact with them, continue to keep track of their activities, actively monitor themselves for symptoms, and communicate potential COVID-19 exposures.

We’re here for Canadians across the country. 💛 Our Cancer Information Helpline is available to provide information and support in English and French – and more than 150 languages through an interpreter service. Call us at 1-888-939-3333.

Know the early signs of cancer. Speak to your doctor if you notice changes, like: ➡️a new growth or lump ➡️a change in the shape, size or colour of a mole or wart ➡️weight loss, fever, tiredness, aches or pains that you can't explain ➡️any change in bladder or bowel habits

Together, we can be there for Canadians facing cancer. 💛 Your year-end donation will ensure that promising cancer research projects aren’t sidelined due to a lack of funding, and that our national support system continues to provide trusted information and compassionate support.
