About us
The Canadian Cancer Society was founded in 1938. We are a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life for people living with cancer. We invest in outstanding cancer research, provide reliable information on all cancers, deliver community-based support programs and lead cancer prevention initiatives. The Society relies on the generosity of donors, corporate supporters and volunteers to achieve its Mission.
The BC and Yukon Division is one of ten divisions across Canada:
- There are six regions within the BC and Yukon Division: Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, Northern, Southern Interior and the Yukon
- More than 20,000 volunteers and another 22,000 event participants support the Society in BC and the Yukon
