Expert report an impressive first step to reimagine and modernize the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care
Canadian Cancer Society recommendations deeply reflected in final report OTTAWA, ON, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ - A newly released Expert External Review report on the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care sets the stage for much-needed modernization and ensures their future work remains relevant, evidence-informed and inclusive. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) applauds the work of the review panel who invited and listened to feedback on the Task Force in developing their report. CCS provided 10 recommendations, all of which have been meaningfully addressed in the report or plans for next steps. These recommendations included strengthening its engagement with cancer experts, people eligible for cancer screening and people with lived and living experience, enhancing its structural foundation, and embracing modernization so that the Task Force can continue to play a relevant and respected role in preventive healthcare for decades to come. "We are very pleased to see our recommendations reflected in this report. Guidelines set and championed by the Task Force are essential for supporting people to reduce their health risks and find diseases like cancer early. But it's critical for the Task Force to have governance and processes that enable it to keep pace with changing perspectives, experiences and science," says Andrea Seale, CEO of the Canadian Cancer Society. "This report reflects opportunities raised by many caring people and organizations who all share a common goal of making Canadians healthier and we're very hopeful for the future." If implemented promptly, these reforms will produce a stronger, more inclusive Task Force capable of addressing longstanding challenges and taking preventive health care guidelines into the future. Implementing the changes in this expert report is not just about improving processes – it is about ensuring every person in Canada is supported with the best possible tools to live healthier lives. The Task Force has accumulated a substantial backlog of guidelines that are many years out of date. It is now up to the federal government to ensure the panel's recommendations are actioned and implemented to allow a refreshed Task Force, supplemented with the funding necessary to fulfil their mandate, to continue its valuable work. The proposed Implementation Advisory Panel will be integral to the success of this reform process. The Panel can aid in fostering public trust in the reform process and ultimately increase confidence in the Task Force's work going forward. The Canadian Cancer Society looks forward to working closely with this Panel to ensure the recommendations are implemented. About the Canadian Cancer Society The Canadian Cancer Society works tirelessly to save and improve lives. We raise funds to fuel the brightest minds in cancer research. We provide a compassionate support system for all those affected by cancer, across Canada and for all types of cancer. Together with patients, supporters, donors and volunteers, we work to create a healthier future for everyone. Because to take on cancer, it takes all of us. It takes a society.

A record-breaking amount for this iconic Quebec event MONTREAL, April 25, 2025 /CNW/ – The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) closed the 32nd edition of its prestigious Montreal Daffodil Ball by raising a historic amount of $3,413,908. Presented under the theme Prospective, the Ball assembled over 700 guests including business, cultural and philanthropic leaders. Funds raised during this benefit evening will fuel the most promising world-class research projects in Quebec and bring hope to people living with cancer. 'I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all our donors and partners for their unwavering support of this important event. Together, we raised funds to ensure that the brightest ideas in cancer research in Quebec are given every chance to succeed – and reach the people who need them most. Your generosity will help us accelerate progress in cancer research, improve treatments, and save lives,' stated Andrea Seale, Chief Executive Officer at the Canadian Cancer Society. Daffodil Moment: A stirring performance by Marie-Annick LépineThe evening was marked by a moving and meaningful moment when Marie-Annick Lépine, celebrated artist and member of Les Cowboys Fringants, took the stage to sing Ta dernière adresse. In a heartfelt performance, she delivered a poignant tribute to her late partner, Karl Tremblay. Her inspiring testimonial reminded attendees why they were all gathered at the Ball. Influential voices to move the cause forwardThe Daffodil Ball was supported by four dedicated co-chairs, Isabelle Marcoux (Transcontinental Inc.), Nicolas Marcoux (PwC Canada), Michael Sabia (Hydro-Québec), and Kim Thomassin (Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec), whose leadership and commitment helped make this event a resounding triumph. The event was further made possible through the incredible dedication of over 200 volunteers and suppliers, and the exceptional contributions of masters of ceremony Marie-Ève Janvier and Claudia Marques. 'Through strategic partnerships with world-renowned institutions across the province, we are amplifying our impact. Together, we are shaping the future of cancer research by investing in the country's most promising projects,' said Nadia Wendowsky, Vice President, Leadership and Corporate Giving at the Canadian Cancer Society. Mobilizing for research as never beforeGiven that 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, research breakthroughs are essential to improve and save the lives of people living with this disease. The Daffodil Ball, Quebec's largest cancer-related fundraiser, achieved an extraordinary milestone this year through unparalleled collective action, making it the most impactful edition in its history. Since 2004, this event has raised nearly $48 million to fund support programs and research projects aimed at preventing cancer and improving screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
