We applaud the NTHSSA launch of the HPV self-sampling project. This pilot is a vital step towards increasing cervical screening rates and we look forward to seeing the full rollout across the #NorthwestTerritories. The ability to self-screen at home makes this life-saving tool far more accessible.

BC is 1 of just 2 provinces that still don’t fund PSA testing for prostate cancer. We were grateful for the opportunity to speak with @davidebybc.bsky.social about the importance of funding PSA testing. With 1 in 8 men diagnosed in their lifetime, we must invest in early detection that saves lives.

We were pleased to welcome Dr Elisabete Weiderpass, Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, to discuss cancer control in Canada and globally @IARC_DIR  @IARCWHO

Thank you MPP #RobCerjanec for meeting with us. Nearly 80% of working-age Ontarians worry that a cancer diagnosis could impact their financial future. We need action to reduce the cost of cancer, so that those affected can build healthy, stable lives long into survivorship. #onpoli

Met Premier #DougFord at #IPM2025 about the need to fund PSA testing, especially during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. ON is 1 of 2 provinces that don't cover this essential test. With 1 in 8 men diagnosed in their lifetime, now’s the time to act & shape a future where early detection saves lives.

With substantial new funds arriving from the tobacco lawsuit settlement, we urge provinces/territories to allocate a significant portion to government tobacco control strategies. There is a historic opportunity to prevent disease and save lives globalnews.ca/news/1135573...
