A great opportunity, led by the MOHCCN Patient Working Group, to ensure the voices of people affected by cancer help shape research priorities! Please share this survey with people with living/lived experience of cancer and any relevant groups within your networks.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and #OrangeShirtDay are an opportunity to reflect on the tragic legacy of residential schools and the resilience of Indigenous communities.

TFRI is committed to working with these communities to ensure our research improves the lives of all Canadians. 🧡

Different communities. Diverse perspectives. One shared vision: Bringing new hope to patients across Canada.🍁 We asked MOHCCN Consortium Leads what the $80M investment from the federal government means for their regions and the communities they serve. Scroll through to hear what they had to say. ➡️

A small photo of Dr. Wyatt standing in a forest and wearing a white Terry Fox tshirt is in an insert. The text reads, "Uncovering a hidden hereditary risk. Terry Fox-funded researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer, creating opportunity to expand genetic screening for families at risk."
