Treaty #3 Cancer Survivorship Campaign
Developed in partnership with Regional Cancer Care Northwest at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) and Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario), with videos directed and filmed by Upriver Media, the Treaty #3 Cancer Survivorship Campaign features the stories of three individuals from Treaty #3 who share their lived experiences with prostate, colon and breast cancer. The campaign brings awareness to key types of cancer that affect Treaty #3 communities and more importantly, reminds us that people can survive cancer, especially if it is found early.
