OTTAWA, ON – To continue celebrating their fifth anniversary, the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network (CCSN) recently announced the launch of their newly revamped website. The redesigned website offers quick and easy access to vital information for the cancer community. The website features three main highlighted sections titled Connect, Learn and Act.

“We are very excited about our new website launch and the information that it can provide to the cancer community.

As mentioned, the website features three main highlighted sections:

  • Connect:
    • In this section, visitors will find everything from recent news, upcoming events, how to become a member of the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network, current partners, cancer centres, how to find doctors and information on Medicare.
  • Learn:
    • This section provides information on different types of cancer and looks at specific health concerns for cancer patients. With so many different cancers, our goal is to keep our community informed on Canadian organizations, international organizations, screening programs, survivor stories and cancer blogs.
  • Act:
