The colon cancer screening test is a simple p**p test you can do at home. It can find signs of blood in your stool that may be caused by colon cancer, even before you notice any symptoms.

In Manitoba, if you’re 50 to 74, you can get screened every two years.

No symptoms? That’s exactly why screening matters.

September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

At CancerCare Manitoba and CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, we remember the children who never returned home, honour residential school survivors, and hold space for families and communities whose lives continue to be shaped by this history.

Reconciliation begins with listening. With learning. With remembering. And with being willing to take meaningful action. It’s an ongoing journey.

We honour the strength, resilience, and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples. We remain committed to learning, building relationships, and taking meaningful steps toward reconciliation not just today, but every day. 🧡

Ahead of National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, staff had the opportunity to come together learning about the significance of Orange Shirt Day through beading, reflection, and conversation.

Guided by Knowledge Keeper, Meg Olmstead, participants created orange shirt pins while learning about sacred medicines and their significance.

Truth and Reconciliation is an ongoing journey. Opportunities to listen, learn and reflect help deepen our understanding of the histories, cultures, and experiences of Indigenous Peoples and the role we each play in reconciliation. 🧡

In this video, Dr. Houston shares how clinical research helps generate new knowledge, test new approaches and incorporate patient perspectives to improve cancer care.
