Sample letter to party leader:
Subject: Show your commitment to cancer control this election
Dear Leader
With nearly 1 in 2 Canadians expected to develop cancer in their lifetime, we need to ensure cancer issues stay top-of-mind for the party that forms the next Government of New Brunswick.
The Canadian Cancer Society has identified two key issues that are vital to preventing cancer and supporting those living with it:
Youth Vaping / Tobacco 21
Too many New Brunswick youth are vaping and smoking. Increase the age to access tobacco and vaping products to 21 and implement e-cigarette legislation to restrict flavours, set maximum nicotine levels, ban sales except in adult-only specialty vape shops and taxation on e-cigarettes.
Advance Palliative Care Strategy
Expedite the implementation of the already approved and funded Palliative Care Strategy in 2018 to improve access to palliative care for the people of New Brunswick.
I strongly support the above recommendations. If implemented, they could have a significant impact in reducing the cancer burden and supporting those living with cancer and beyond.
I am asking you to publicly support and adopt the recommendations of the Canadian Cancer Society that will help prevent cancer and improve outcomes and quality of life for people living with cancer.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
