cancer is always going to be a part of my life. I choose to embrace that and do something positive with it. The canadian cancer society was there for me and my family. Now it is my turn to give back.”
“
Thanks to your support, the Society continues to make extremely encouraging
progress in the multi-faceted fight for life. This past year, we continued this
strong tradition, making strategic investments in innovative cancer research,
advocacy efforts related to tobacco and tanning beds, information and support
programs for Canadians affected by cancer and more.
You are our best partner in the fight for life, and partnerships continued to
play a central role in our organization in 2013. We continued to forge strategic
partnerships at the local, provincial, national and global levels to help even
more Canadians in the fight against cancer. Whether it was the new information
service we launched with Prostate Cancer Canada, the health literacy project
we undertook with an Inuit women’s group, our ongoing work with a long list
of global health charities or other initiatives, we recognized and embraced the
power of partnerships in the fight for life.
Fundraising is the engine that powers the important work we do. And 2013
was another strong year on the fundraising front. In April, you coloured Canada
bright yellow as part of the Society’s annual Daffodil Month campaign, raising
$19 million in the process. And, once again, you made Relay For Life the largest,
most successful cancer fundraiser in Canada, as 16,000 teams raised $46.5 million.
Together, over the past three-quarters of a century, we’ve made incredible
progress in the fight for life. You can read about some of that progress in the
pages that follow. But, as you know, there is still much work to be done. And
on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society, we want to assure you that we at the
Society remain absolutely unwavering in our commitment to continue to lead
the charge to change cancer forever. But change can’t happen without you.
Thank you once again for your support.

Because of YOUIt’s been 75 years since the Canadian Cancer Society embarked on an incredibly important and ambitious mission: to eradicate cancer and to enhance the quality of life of people living with cancer. While much has changed since those early days, our resolve to fight cancer and your dedication remain as strong today as they have ever been.

TIn 2013, we invested $45 million of your donations to support 294 lead researchers and 567 students and fellows to carry out 327 research projects and 58 career development awards.

Thanks to YOU we are leading cancer research across Canada
Killing cancer cells with designer virusesIn Ottawa, Dr Jean-Simon Diallo and Dr John Bell have created 2 new oncolytic viruses that destroy
cancer cells by design. These designer viruses work by attacking the cancer cells while leaving
normal cells unharmed.
Mapping Canada’s expanding waistlineIn Vancouver, Dr Carolyn Gotay has mapped Canada’s obesity – a known risk factor for cancer.
These maps show an increase in rates over the last 11 years.
Cancer cell assassinsIn Edmonton, Dr Hanne Ostergaard’s research on cell movement has uncovered a new way that
immune cells latch on to cancer cells in order to destroy them.
Targeting hard-to-treat breast cancerIn London, Dr Shawn Li has discovered a complex cellular pathway that could explain why
chemotherapy doesn’t work well on some cancers like triple-negative breast cancer and could provide
a strategy to reverse chemo-resistance.
Detecting workplace cancer hazardsIn Montreal, Dr Jérôme Lavoué is protecting workers from cancer-causing substances through
a workplace detection toolkit. He has identified the professions most at risk for silica exposure,
which can lead to lung cancer.
Getting to the heart of palliative careIn Manitoba, Dr Harvey Max Chochinov has developed an innovative approach, now being tested
in Manitoba and Scotland, to preserve patient dignity. By asking a simple question, healthcare
professionals can build greater empathy with their patients to give them the best possible care.
Using Howard’s Law to protect CanadiansSaskatchewan became the first province to enact
a law making it mandatory for all provincial
government buildings that contain asbestos to be
included on a public registry. This law will reduce
exposure to asbestos, a known carcinogen.
Banning flavoured tobacco to protect Canadian youthAlberta adopted legislation to ban flavours in all
tobacco products, and the Ontario government
introduced a similar bill. Currently these products
evade most existing tobacco legislation, making
them accessible and attractive to youth.
Butting out smoking with higher tobacco taxesSix provinces – British Columbia, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island
and Newfoundland and Labrador – increased tobacco
taxes. This is the most effective way to reduce youth
smoking. The federal government increased the tax
rate on roll-your-own tobacco and introduced a bill
to further reduce tobacco contraband.
Banning youth indoor tanning to prevent skin cancerWith the help of melanoma survivors like Kate Neale,
we have now helped pass new legislation in most
provinces banning the use of commercial tanning
beds by young people.
The man behind Howard’s Law
The Society celebrated the life of Howard Willem in March and presented his family with an award honouring his leadership in asbestos awareness. Willem died in November 2012 from a rare form of asbestos-related cancer. He had been a building inspector and advocated for a registry of public buildings that contain asbestos.
Hope becomes reality
The Honourable Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, is joined by Kate Neale, a melanoma cancer survivor and one of the Canadian Cancer Society’s most vocal advocates. “When I was diagnosed with melanoma, I wanted to stop every young person from indoor tanning. I joined the Canadian Cancer Society to advocate for legislation banning indoor tanning for youth because it was my hope to make a difference. That hope has become reality.”

Stephanie Wong (left) and Adele Green were advocates in the fight to ban the use of tanning beds by young people in BC. They stood up and used their skills in social media to recruit more volunteers to make more noise.
Every policy change we influence is because of YOUGovernment policies and legislation that protect the health of Canadians play a critical role in reducing cancer incidence and improving cancer care. With your support, we have made great progress.
cancerconnection gave me hope and a peace of mind. You need to talk to someone who’s gone through the same thing.

Sandra Skrober, a survivor of pancreatic cancer. Now healthy and back at work, Sandra has trained as a peer support volunteer so she can offer the comfort that once helped her.
YFear, anxiety, helplessness, anger – these are feelings people can have when faced with a cancer diagnosis. But knowledge and support are power. Our services are free and confidential, and many are available in multiple languages.
Talking to someone who has been thereThanks to your generosity more than 60,000 people
have used the Society’s telephone-based peer support
program since its launch 10 years ago. Our peer
support program provides a free service connecting
people with cancer with trained volunteers who listen,
provide hope, offer encouragement and share ideas for
coping – all from their unique perspective as someone
who’s been there.
Available 24/7Your support also powers our award-winning
online communities – CancerConnection.ca and
ParlonsCancer.ca. These communities continue to
empower, inform and support people living with
cancer, nearly 100,000 people have been helped since
they were launched in 2011. This year alone, over
48,000 people have visited more than 74,000 times.
Knowledge is powerSociety experts continue to review research that
improves our understanding of what causes cancer
and how to prevent it. This new knowledge allows
us to provide Canadians with up-to-date, credible
information about this disease and be as effective
as possible in our efforts to change cancer forever.
Spreading the wordYou helped Canadians get the information they needed.
In 2013,
• Over 6,000 Canadians got the support they needed
through the Society’s telephone-based peer
support program.
• The Society’s Cancer Information Service responded to
more than 58,000 inquiries.
• Millions of Canadians turned to cancer.ca for in-depth
information on 58 cancer types and ways to get
involved in the fight for life.
• Our website, cancer.ca had more than 4.88 million
visits from around the world and more than
1.32 million visits from mobile devices.
• Our followers were engaged via social media – a
growing forum with close to 50,000 Facebook fans
and 36,000 Twitter followers.
• We distributed about 1.3 million print materials on all
aspects of cancer to Canadians across the country.

YOU are helping Canadians make life-changing connections
Relay For LifeThe first Relay For Life in Canada was held in 1999
and raised $85,000. Since then, Relay has raised
over $496.5 million nationally. Continuing to be
the Canadian Cancer Society’s largest fundraising
program, in 2013:
• 487 Relay For Life events took place across
Canada raising $46.5 million.
• 161,746 Canadians participated on 16,224 teams.
• 33,252 survivors celebrated at Relay.
• 28,311 volunteers made it happen.
In the spring of 2010, Brooke Ramsay was diagnosed
with a rare form of brain cancer. She fought this
cancer for 16 months and died after her first Relay
For Life in 2011. “Brooke led our team, which we
called Brooke’s Donkeys. Her hope was to make a
difference in the fight against cancer – she never
gave up and neither will her devoted Donkeys,” says
Lauren Merklinger, Brooke’s Donkeys team captain.
The top fundraising team for 2 of the past 3 years,
Brooke’s Donkeys have raised nearly $200,000. In
recognition of their outstanding fundraising effort,
the Society has named an Innovation Grant in their
honour. The Brooke’s Donkeys Innovation Grant of the
Canadian Cancer Society is held by Dr Kevin Petrecca
for brain cancer research.
Daffodil MonthDuring the month of April we ask Canadians to reflect
upon the thousands of people who are living with
cancer and to remember loved ones lost to cancer.
Society volunteers are involved in numerous activities
to raise vital funds in this national annual campaign.
In 2013 we:
• mobilized around 70,000 volunteers across
the country
• sold millions of daffodil pins and fresh cut flowers
• raised over $19 million coast to coast
Dan Baxter, a cancer survivor who battled his way
back from a leukemia diagnosis in 2008, calls himself
a natural salesman and is affectionately known
as “Daffodil Dan.” The 51-year-old stands outside
a hardware store in his local town for a few hours
at a time. “It takes 3 seconds to ask, Have you got
your daffodil pin yet?” Dan says. “If you don’t ask,
you don’t get. And I’m out there to raise as much
money as I can.”
The money that Dan and other volunteers raise
during Daffodil Month helps to fund cancer research
and support services for cancer patients and their
families. Dan, who contributes up to 25 hours of
his time to the Society each April, has experienced
first-hand the difference this money is making.
