Breast Cancer Canada Regional Hubs


Regional Hubs are an integral part of Breast Cancer Canada. We are connecting communities across Canada and those committed to our mission to make research local. 

Breast Cancer Canada has a national strategy to activate our vision to end breast cancer through our Regional Hubs. Volunteers are taking local action by elevating their community portfolio and supporting national breast cancer research at the same time.

A vital purpose of our Regional Hubs is our Patient Reported Outcomes research. Breast Cancer Canada volunteers are working with local cancer centers to assist breast cancer patients with sharing their journey and help direct new research initiatives for better care.

Our volunteer hubs are expanding from coast to coast. By volunteering your time and talents, you can drive progress for breast cancer patients. So why wait?

Regional Hubs

We connect communities and those committed to our mission to make the goal local so we can save lives through breast cancer research, together, wherever you are.

 Regional Hubs are an integral part of Breast Canada Canada. 

Breast Cancer Canada has a national strategy to bring our vision to end breast cancer to local regional hubs. Each local member hub can help turn our vision into local action by designing their community portfolio, and supporting national research at the same time.

A vital purpose of our Regional Hubs is our Patient Reported Outcomes research. Our volunteers are working with local cancer centers to assist patients with recording their treatments, the effects, the side effects and the outcomes to help direct new research initiatives for better patient care during the breast cancer journey.

Support us locally to:

  • Be the driving force behind Patient Reported Outcomes research
  • Fundraise for life-saving breast cancer research
  • Raise awareness around the importance and impact of our research
  • Advocate for access to testing and breast cancer treatments

Together we can raise awareness to the importance of breast cancer research and share Breast Cancer Canada’s purpose. After all, the more we know, the sooner we can end it.
