Our new report finds 140 countries/territories require graphic picture health warnings on cigarette packages; 27 require plain packaging. Canada and Australia are the 1st to require warnings on individual cigarettes. That's tremendous global progress! cancer.ca/-/media/file... @whofctc.bsky.social

CCS volunteer and prostate cancer patient, Dr. Anthony Dixon shared how his own diagnosis changed everything. He spoke about the financial and emotional costs, from parking fees to PSA tests. He also reflected on the gifts: empathy, purpose, and the power of early detection. Thank you Anthony!

While at Queen’s Park, @cancersociety.bsky.social CEO Andrea Seale shared how affordability means something different when it’s about your health. Last year alone, patients and caregivers shouldered $7.5 billion in costs—delaying or going without care because they couldn’t afford it.

What a day at Queen’s Park! Our “Breakfast for Better Cancer Care” brought together CCS staff, volunteers, and MPPs to spotlight the real cost of cancer. We brought three tangible asks to Ontario MPPs that can reduce those costs right now.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! #onpoli #costofcancer
