Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada

Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada's mission is to advocate for and provide evidence to support programs & policies that promote healthy living

[Canadian Cancer Society @cancersociety]

Today, we are so excited to launch our new brand position and campaign. Central to this work is the idea that nothing big gets solved by one person. Cancer is no different.

We all know the saying ‘It takes a village.’ But to take on cancer, it takes more than a village. We believe it takes a society. It takes a community – of patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, researchers, advocates, donors, supporters and volunteers – rallying together around a shared cause.

Profound impact is possible when we combine our actions with the actions of others. Our goal at the Canadian Cancer Society is to inspire people of all ages, from all backgrounds and all parts of the country to come together to take on cancer’s biggest issues.
