For reasons that are too numerous to explain here, our fiscal year in the Canadian Cancer Society ends on January 31st.
Like most charitable organizations, we wonder if we will end the year “in the blackâ€, and are concerned about our ability to meet our obligations in funding excellence in cancer research, supporting cancer patients and their families, and delivering important prevention initiatives.
We all appreciate that the past several months have been financially challenging to virtually everyone, but during these challenging times I worry particularly about those who are currently struggling through cancer and all those who love them and are trying their best to help.
If you are fortunate enough to be in a position to help financially, please consider a gift to the Canadian Cancer Society before the end of January. It could make a huge difference!
With our commitment to research, our wide scope of services and our concern for all types of cancer, we are indeed your best investment in the cancer cause!
Thank you in advance for anything you can do to help.
Question:
Do you belive recent findings regarding “Third Hand Smoke” will have any bearing on our lodge operations or admission policies?
Thanks for your question, Linda. No, I don’t think the third hand smoke issue is a concern to us in the lodge. However, we of course would want to continue our current policy of no smoking in the lodges. We know that cancer patients undergoing treatment reduce their likelihood of survival by continuing to smoke and while it may be difficult to stop smoking, we are there to help. And we certainly would not want to expose other patients, visitors, volunteers or staff to second hand smoke.
