ABOUT BCA

Breast Cancer Action/Sensibilisation au cancer du sein is a survivor-directed, voluntary organization founded in 1992 by a group of women who knew first hand what breast cancer diagnosis meant to patients and their families. Breast Cancer Action received its charitable status in February 1993 and is funded by private donations. We care because we've been there.

WE HAVE A PEER COUNSELLING PROGRAM to help those newly diagnosed deal with the challenges of breast cancer.

WE FOSTER HEALTH PROMOTION by offering fitness classes and the Dragon Boat Program.

WE EXPAND THE SCOPE OF OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS to welcome new programs, projects and initiatives.

WE EXPAND OUR ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE by reaching out to the community.

WE HOST PRE-OPERATIVE SESSIONS for those about to undergo breast surgery.

WE OFFER FREE WORKSHOPS to help minimize the risk of developing lymphedema.

WE PROVIDE FREE ACCESS to our on-site lending library.

WE PURCHASE NEW EQUIPMENT and much needed resources for our core programs.

WE DEVELOP NEW EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS to share with our community and our breast health partners.

WE OPERATE A POST-DIAGNOSIS SUPPORT AND RESOURCE CENTER to ensure information, support and resources are made available to those who need our assistance.

AND SO MUCH MORE!
