Getting transportation to treatment

Volunteer drivers are here for you. If you are being treated for cancer and you do not have access to transportation, a volunteer driver can pick you up and take you to your treatment-related appointments.

The Canadian Cancer Society, in partnership with the Freemasons Cancer Car Program, provides rides for people with cancer who have no other means of transportation. This service is available in Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Interior, Price George and on Vancouver Island. It is provided in partnership with the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of BC and the Yukon.

 
Volunteers provide round-trip transportation to primary cancer treatment appointments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. This service is based on need and availability. Some flexibility in pickup and departure times is required. Depending on the location, up to 7 days notice may be required. Please call for more information.

As the volunteer drivers do not have access to specially equipped vehicles, it is important that you can get in and out of a car without assistance and be willing to share rides.

We’re grateful for the volunteer support and generous donors of the transportation program. In our recent client satisfaction survey, 100% of our passengers expressed satisfaction with our service.
