30 Years of Progress and Powering Into The Future

For over three decades, Breast Cancer Canada has been at the forefront of breast cancer research. But we’re not slowing down — we’re pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible. We continue our mission as a forward-thinking national charity, committed to furthering innovation through research.

Our mission to end breast cancer is stronger than ever. With cutting-edge research, personalized patient care, and bold advocacy, we’re accelerating progress in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Recent leadership appointments and national recognition are not just milestones; they’re launching us forward for even greater impact.

We’re building on our legacy, elevating the voice of patients, and rewriting the future of breast cancer care for Canadians.

Behind every milestone is also the collective effort of our full dedicated team as we work towards the same goal. Together, we will continue to bring forward the latest advancement in early detection, treatment, and prevention — because the more we know, the sooner we can end it.
