Advocacy

We are the voice for Canadians who care about cancer

What we are doing

The Canadian Cancer Society works with government to bring about healthy public policies that will help prevent cancer and improve the lives of people living with cancer and their caregivers.

Our successes

Our advoacy work is making a real difference. 

Help amplify the voices of people affected by cancer

Changing public policy is one of the most effective tools for preventing cancer and helping those affected by it.

With just $5 from people like you, we can continue to connect government decision-makers with thousands of patients and caregivers to make cancer care better, everywhere in Canada.

If everyone reading this gave just $5, we could achieve our goal this month to fund transformative advocacy, the most promising research, and reliable cancer information and support. Please give today. Thank you.
