Local Cancer Support

The Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre is one of the only rural centre’s of its kind in the Province.  The increasing membership and program use at the GBCSC indicates that it fulfills an important need in the community. For most Canadians living with a cancer diagnosis, finding support where they live is just one of the many challenges they face. Whether it’s an informal group meeting in a coffee shop or a stand alone Centre offering programs and activities, cancer support is a vital piece of the journey through treatment and for those living with cancer.  Engaging in supportive activities with others improves your emotional and physical well-being as you go through treatment and into recovery.
