To everyone who signed and shared—thank you. 💜 Together, we are shaping the national conversation on pancreatic cancer.

📅 The timing matters: Petition e-6492 will be formally presented in Parliament this November.

Every signature helps demonstrate that Canadians want change for one of the deadliest—but most underfunded—cancers.

This support means more visibility for:
• National standards in care
• Access to clinical trials & treatments like Onivyde
• Somatic testing for patients regardless of location

We are deeply grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to share updates as we build a stronger future for our community. Heather would be so proud. 💜

What does this mean for Canadians? More support for individuals and families facing pancreatic cancer in Newfoundland and Labrador—and across Canada. 💜 #PancreaticCancer #NonprofitLeadership

Over the next few months, our leadership team will be learning, collaborating, and creating a strategic plan to ensure the Foundation’s growth and impact.

This program, supported by the Community Sector Council NL and the Community Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador, will help us strengthen and diversify our revenue strategies for long-term sustainability.

Thanks for sharing, Lesley! We’re late to the Blusky party apparently!

We’re committed to full transparency on where we stand and how we’re working for change.

We welcome any meaningful steps to improve outcomes for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians facing pancreatic cancer.
This is about building sustained, open dialogue—starting right here at home.

Our team studied leading programs in BC, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. We built a roadmap rooted in what works—and what’s possible here.
We know smaller provinces can lead when they invest in smart, scalable policy. #PancreaticCancer #HealthEquity

What’s in the report?
We’ve outlined four key recommendations for NL:
•Launch high-risk pancreatic cancer screening
•Expand access to genetic testing
•Integrate precision medicine
