Breast Cancer Information & Support

Building Breast Healthy Neighbourhoods (BBHN)

The project has been completed. However, we will continue to provide most program components such as breast cancer information, awareness workshops and navigating screening services for newcomer women who experience access difficulties.

Group activities may include:

• educational workshops
• videos and discussions
• tours of breast screening (mammography) clinics
• shopping and cooking healthy foods

Women often ask:

• “I feel a lump in my breast, do I have breast cancer?”
• “How do I know if something’s wrong?”
• “My mother had breast cancer, am I going to get it?”
• “How can I reduce the risk of getting breast cancer?”
• “I eat a lot of healthy stuff, can I still get breast cancer?”
• “I’ve never had a mammogram, why is it important?”
• “Is cancer infectious?”
• “Am I going to die?”
