Who We Help

HomeCancer Support > Who we help

A woman sits across from a man who is emotional. She holds his hand and listens.

Our programs are open to anyone impacted by cancer — whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, in recovery, or supporting a loved one. All services are free and offered in a welcoming, community-based setting.

THE WHY

Cancer care goes beyond clinical treatment. Community cancer care provides people with tools to improve their wellbeing and a community that shares their experience.

THE WHO

Chalmers Foundation Cancer Support helps individuals with lived cancer experiences and their support persons. Whether you are living with cancer, living beyond cancer, or are a caregiver to someone who has a lived cancer experience, our Cancer Support programming is designed to provide support and community for you.

THE WHAT

In May 2025, the Chalmers Foundation Care & Support Centre proudly opened its doors to the community. The Centre serves as the dedicated home for community-based cancer support programming, offering welcoming, thoughtfully designed spaces for its Learn & Live WellStrength & MovementCare & Support, and Create & Express offerings.

The Care & Support Centre features the Empowerment Studio for movement and mindfulness programs and educational sessions; a fully equipped Wellness Kitchen for nutrition programming and community connection; and private rooms for Peer Support and restorative care appointments.

Its goal is to enhance physical well-being, emotional and social resilience, and meaningful community connection for individuals with lived cancer experiences, and their support networks, at any point in their journey.
