THE CANADIAN BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION - BC/YUKON REGION

The BC/Yukon Region of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1992 to make a difference in breast cancer and breast health for BC women. It is one of five regional offices of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Every year, CBCF BC/Yukon Region, along with its donors, sponsors and partners, raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to support groundbreaking research and unique programs to prevent, detect, treat and find a cure for breast cancer.

Our vision is a future without breast cancer.

Screening Mammography Awareness Campaign

If you’re a woman 40 years or older, make an appointment for your free regular mammogram by calling 1-888-GOHAVE1 (1-888-464-2831). It only takes minutes, no referral is required, and because it finds what you simply cannot - smaller tumours earlier - mammography saves lives.

The Tour will visit 24 communities and 42 neighbouring First Nations communities across the Province through November 2008.
