In 2019, the Canadian Cancer Society carried out the underserved communities project to identify communities that face barriers to accessing cancer information, support and practical services.
The purpose of this project was to understand gaps, barriers and challenges faced by these communities and outline opportunities and tactics to address them, to ensure all people in Canada can access our cancer information, support and practical services.
The report, which includes the findings from this project, is intended to share key learnings with organizations that support underserved communities through cancer information and support services and to guide CCS’s own engagement efforts, programs, and resources.
