Transportation assistance
The Canadian Cancer Society strives to provide access to safe and reliable transportation for people living with cancer receiving active treatment at approved cancer treatment facilities.
The road to recovery needs more drivers...
With the kindness and support of volunteer drivers, cancer patients only need to worry about getting better and beating cancer for good.
The Volunteer Driver Program in Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge provides free transportation for cancer patients to and from cancer treatment centres.
As a volunteer driver, you'll pick up patients and take them to their treatment centre. You'll be there to offer friendly support and kindness at a time when they need it the most. And when their treatment is done, you'll make sure they get home safely.
Volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone's life, be part of a team, share your experience, learn new skills and develop lasting friendships. We'll provide ongoing training and support for you to develop and grow in your new role.
To become a volunteer driver, contact the Volunteer Coordinator for your location:
Calgary: 1 800 263-6750 (toll-free)
Edmonton: (780) 455-7181
Lethbridge: 1 800 263-6750 (toll-free)
Do you need help getting to treatment?
Sometimes simply getting to treatment can be a difficult task, especially if you are also dealing with physical or financial challenges or if the treatment centre is far from home.
If you need help getting to your cancer-related care, we can work with you to find the best way to get you there.
