Ontario Ontar io Division Di vision
For 75 years ... We’ve been with you in the fight for life. We’ve built a strong foundation of innovative and impactful research. We’re finding new ways to prevent cancer. And we continue to support those living with cancer. But there is still so much more to do. Together, we can change cancer forever.

Relentlessly working to stop cancer at every turn Cancer is the single largest killer in Canada. This disease steals the health and lives of more people than stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, liver disease and HIV/AIDS combined. Although our own personal risk of getting cancer has not increased, it is one of the diseases most feared by Ontarians (Ipsos Reid, 2012). In addition, there will be more cancer cases in Ontario because of an aging and growing population. In 2012, as many as 72,000 Ontarians faced a cancer diagnosis. Therefore, the need to better understand and prevent the disease has never been greater. The time to change the course of cancer is now. With the support of our donors, the Canadian Cancer Society is working tirelessly to respond – making every effort to improve the landscape in the fight against cancer. Our reach in communities across Ontario and our commitment to improving the quality of life for cancer patients have defined the Society’s role over the last 75 years. In addition, our requirement that we fund only the best research has led to an extraordinary number of breakthroughs and successes, also accelerating the pace of discovery. These discoveries, in fact, will mean even greater advances in detection, treatment and quality of life than we’ve seen to date.
In preparation for the years ahead, we are embarking on a nationwide comprehensive campaign. This focused strategy - our boldest approach yet - will ignite the pace and scale of change needed to make advances so substantial that it will lead to fewer people dying from cancer, to treatments working more often and on more patients, and people living with the disease enjoying an improved quality and length of life. Together with our donors, 60,000 volunteers, partners and staff across the province, we are determined to make this devastating disease manageable and create a tomorrow where no person ever needs to fear cancer again. We cannot do it without you and we thank you for your continued support. Together, we will change cancer forever.
Yet, we don’t stop at making progress in research. We are also providing greater support for people at every stage of their cancer journey and strengthening our resources to educate Ontarians about early detection so that cancer is found early, when it’s most treatable. We are creating unique opportunities for Ontarians to join us in our advocacy efforts, helping to pass legislation that will protect lives for generations to come. We know that for every statistic, there is a person: a mother, a child, a friend or a co-worker, who is in one of the biggest fights of their life. The stories, in the following pages, are snapshots of the experiences and testimonials of people whose lives, while impacted by the devastation of cancer, are examples of why “life is worth fighting for.”

Meet As a firefighter for over 25 years, Ray has lost many colleagues. Some of them died, not while putting out fires, but from cancer. After losing many friends to the disease, Ray has questions about the risks that result from being exposed to toxic substances while on the job. Ray is right to be concerned. Although firefighters face danger every day, it’s the dangers they can’t see that pose the biggest threat. That’s because some of the materials found in products in our homes and businesses today, burn hotter and more toxic than in the past.
“
Because of smoke inhalation and exposure to toxic chemicals, I live with the fear of cancer virtually every day.
Ray Ellis
”
Funding research to help save lives Like Ray, we are very concerned about toxic elements in our air, water, land and consumer products. With nearly 60 workplace exposures classified as known or probable carcinogens, such as shiftwork, diesel fumes, radiation and nickel, we believe people have the right to know if they have an increased risk of cancer in their workplace. This year, the Canadian Cancer Society announced funding for a $1 million study that will help connect the dots between workplace exposure and cancer. Led by Dr Paul Demers at the Occupational Cancer Research Centre, this research is the first of its kind in Canada. The results will help us learn more about the hidden dangers for workers, such as firefighters, who are exposed to carcinogens. Thanks to the support of donors like you, this groundbreaking study will ultimately lead to increased knowledge about workplace exposure to better protect workers in Ontario.

In Ontario, the Canadian Cancer Society invested more than $21 million in the most promising cancer research, including new Innovation Grants that are designed to support unconventional research that has the potential to change how we think about cancer.
Dr Paul Demers, Director, Occupational Cancer Research Centre
Clinical trials are the best way to test new methods for diagnosing, treating, managing and preventing cancer in people. Our funding of the NCIC Clinical Trials Group allowed them to provide access to state of the art care to 1,441 cancer patients. Dr Paul Demers’ study on workplace exposure to carcinogens is one of three Multisector Team Grants in Prevention Research. These grants were introduced by the Society this year to develop a direct connection between research and the work we do in advocacy and prevention. The Occupational Cancer Research Centre, a world-class facility funded in part by the Canadian Cancer Society, is the first and only centre in Canada dedicated to filling the gaps in our knowledge of workplace-related cancers that will help to develop policies and programs to better protect workers from toxic substances.
In the 1970s, Canadian Cancer Society-funded researcher, Dr Hans Stich, launched a research group at the University of British Columbia to identify cancer-causing chemicals in the environment. He developed a relatively inexpensive and simple way to monitor dangerous chemicals in the water and also to test the success of preventive, anti-pollution efforts.

Meet & When Jasmin Handakar’s four-year-old son, Mutasim, cried in pain when he went to the bathroom, her mother’s instinct told her something was wrong. She took him to his doctor and after a week of tests, she was shocked to learn that her active and happy little boy had bladder cancer. Mutasim needed surgery and 11 months of chemotherapy to fight his cancer. With another child at home, a husband who worked full-time and the cost of getting Mutasim to treatment quickly adding up, Jasmin needed help. Our Transportation Program eased one worry by providing safe and reliable rides back and forth to Mutasim’s many appointments.
“
We truly appreciate the support we received from the Canadian Cancer Society and their kind volunteer drivers. It would have been very hard for me to afford the cost of transportation without their help.
Jasmin Handakar

Supporting Ontarians throughout their cancer journey Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are here to help people like Jasmin and Mutasim, throughout their cancer journey. We provide vital information and compassionate support services to cancer patients and their families so they don’t have to face cancer alone. Here are some of the other ways Ontarians benefited from our many services: “ The information we got from the Cancer Information Service helped us to be better caregivers and organize our lives around my mother’s care. It’s not just the patient who goes through cancer, the whole family is impacted.”
- Lisa Gibbings, caregiver for her late mother, Diane
“ Peer Support is one of the best services the Canadian Cancer Society offers. It feels good to talk to others and to know that sharing my cancer story helps reduce their fears.”
- Bob Tuck, prostate cancer survivor and Peer Support volunteer
“ Living with a spouse with cancer can be very challenging. The Living Well Beyond Cancer program helped by allowing us to share our concerns and emotions and by providing us with coping tools.”
Bob Tuck, prostate cancer survivor and Peer Support volunteer
- Ron Bouchard, whose wife Tarja completed treatment for brain cancer
“ When I think back to the beginning of my cancer journey, if it were not for meeting a CancerConnection.ca community member who was going through the same thing, I would not have gotten through it.”

Meet As a 16-year-old, Kate Neale desperately wanted a sun-kissed glow like the beautiful women she saw in magazines. Misinformed about the risks of indoor tanning, the fair-skinned teenager believed that it was good for her skin. For several years, she tanned two to three times a week. At 21, Kate found an unusual freckle on her stomach. She was devastated to learn that it was melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Even though her cancer was successfully treated, Kate is regularly monitored by doctors because of her continued risk and lives with the fear that her cancer will come back. Determined to help others learn from her mistakes, Kate now helps educate teenagers about the dangers of indoor tanning and advocates for the regulation of the indoor tanning industry in Ontario.
“
I know I can’t change what happened to me. But I hope that by sharing my story, I can prevent it from happening to someone else.

Advocating for healthy public policies Indoor tanning causes skin cancer, one of the most common yet preventable types of cancer. Unfortunately, Ontario’s youth are especially at risk. Tanning bed use before the age of 35 dramatically increases a person’s risk of skin cancer. Thanks to the support of our donors, the Canadian Cancer Society educates Ontarians about the risks of indoor tanning and empowers them to take action. Together, we championed for change through our online advocacy campaign, meetings with MPPs and sending thousands of letters in support of a private member’s bill calling for a ban on indoor tanning for youth under 18. We believe that working with government to create healthy public policies is a vital part of the fight against cancer. We take a stand on issues that affect your health, from leading tobacco control efforts to ensuring all Ontarians have access to equal and affordable healthcare.

France Gélinas, NDP Health Critic, and Kate Neale, melanoma cancer survivor and Canadian Cancer Society volunteer
In September 2012, then Premier, Dalton McGuinty, announced plans to adopt NDP Health Critic, France Gélinas’ private member’s bill, which would have banned youth under 18 from using indoor tanning equipment. The Town of Oakville, Region of Peel and City of Mississauga successfully passed the first municipal indoor tanning by-laws in Ontario to protect youth under 18 years of age from using and accessing indoor tanning equipment. Across Ontario, 21 high schools participated in our Tan-Free Grad program. Over 3,000 graduatingclass students learned about the dangers of indoor tanning and 1,100 pledged to stay tan-free. Our continued efforts in tobacco control were a key driver of larger graphic picture warnings that now cover 75 per cent of cigarette packages. In June, the federal government adopted the new warnings, putting Canada among countries with the largest health warnings in the world.
The Canadian Cancer Society has been a leader in advocating for healthy public policy for decades. In the late 1980s, we helped influence the federal government to pass the Tobacco Products Control Act and the Non-Smokers Health Act, which controlled tobacco advertising and promotion, and banned smoking in workplaces.

Suzanne Suzanne Kootachin, a member of the Attawapiskat First Nation, understands the importance of getting screened for cancer because so many members of her community have been touched by the disease. Unfortunately for Suzanne and many First Nations women in remote areas of northeastern Ontario, accessing cancer screening programs isn’t easy. It can take up to four days and cost as much as $1,500 to travel by plane to get to the nearest mammography clinic. A unique partnership between the Canadian Cancer Society, the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority and Health Sciences North helped Suzanne and dozens of other women get access to mammograms that could save their lives. A First Nations woman herself, Janice Soltys, was proud to help organize this initiative to ensure that women in these remote communities benefit from breast cancer screening programs.
“
First Nations women, like Suzanne, who live in remote communities of James Bay Coast, feel isolated and disconnected from the resources they need to protect their health. This initiative helps them to feel part of a community that truly cares about their health and well-being.

Educating communities about cancer screening For many Ontarians, early detection can mean the difference between life and death. With the support of our donors, the Canadian Cancer Society raises awareness about the importance of screening and early detection. We increase knowledge and understanding about breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening by delivering life-saving messages through a variety of one-on-one and group interactions. In addition, our Screening Saves Lives program uses trained volunteers to educate hard-to-reach and underscreened communities, such as those in northeastern Ontario. Our focus on screening is part of our overall efforts to educate Canadians on how to reduce their risk through healthy lifestyles.

Our specially trained volunteers reached 15,380 people through conversations and presentations on the importance of early detection and cancer screening.
Martin Kabat, CEO (centre) at Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre
Among First Nations communities, cancer incidence has been steadily increasing and survival rates tend to be worse. Our screening partnership helped nearly 80 First Nations women get to mammography appointments so that breast cancer is detected early, when it’s most treatable. A Society-funded research study, aiming to identify why more Ontarians do not get screened for colorectal cancer, is helping to develop targeted strategies to improve screening rates so that more cancers are found earlier, when treatments are more effective. In 2012, 699 mammograms were performed at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre thanks to our contribution of $100,000 towards the purchase of the hospital’s first mammography machine. In 2002, recognizing that the colorectal cancer death rate could be significantly reduced if Canadians aged 50 and over were screened every two years, the Canadian Cancer Society announced new recommendations for colorectal cancer screening. In 2007, our advocacy efforts in Ontario resulted in the implementation of a comprehensive colorectal cancer screening program.

We are accountable Report from the Chair, Audit Committee As Chair of Ontario Division’s Audit Committee, I am pleased to report that the Canadian Cancer Society continued to lead the way in the fight for life in 2012-2013. Our generous donors, volunteers, staff and partners helped to raise $85.7 million in revenues. We invested these revenues towards preventing cancer, saving lives and supporting people living with cancer. In fact, 66% of spending went directly to support our mission. With your support, we were able to contribute $21.3 million to Canada’s best research aimed at fighting cancer. We also invested $34.2 million to deliver support and information services that extend a lifeline to cancer patients and their families and $3.4 million to lead advocacy efforts in communities across Ontario. Achieving the level of impact the Canadian Cancer Society has had in fighting cancer, naturally comes with certain expenditures. Managing our expenses continues to be a priority. Our fundraising costs represent 30% of our total expenses, while administrative expenses remained steady at 4% of our total expenditures. Despite a highly competitive fundraising environment, our financial picture is healthy and we maintain operating reserves to ensure uninterrupted support of our programs and services. This year, we reflect on our 75 years dedicated to fighting cancer and helping those impacted by cancer. I am confident that with your continued support, the Canadian Cancer Society will save more lives and move us closer to a day when no one will fear cancer. Thank you. Sandra P. Aversa

We invest for impact: answering your questions The Canadian Cancer Society recognizes that donors deserve clear information to make informed choices about which organizations to support. As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we answer your questions. Why should I donate to the Canadian Cancer Society? The Canadian Cancer Society has more impact, against more cancers, in more communities than any other cancer organization in Canada. We are the only cancer charity in Canada that accomplishes all of the following:
• • • • • •
We fund significantly more cancer research than any other charity in Canada and we are the only charity that funds research into all forms of cancer. Scientific panels of international experts select grant proposals through a rigorous review process ensuring we fund only the best research, making the most impact against cancer. We are the leading source of comprehensive and reliable information about cancer. We provide practical and emotional support so that no one faces cancer alone. We help patients get to cancer-related treatments with our Transportation Program. These are patients who have no way of getting to and from cancer-related care or who can’t afford the costs associated with travelling. Our work in prevention means more people are aware of the importance of healthy living and cancer screening. We advocate for public policies that make healthy choices easier and protect Canadians from cancer-causing substances at work, at home and at play. Among our successes are the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, the Cosmetic Pesticides Ban Act and ColonCancerCheck, a provincial colon cancer screening program.
How do you choose which research projects to fund? Each year, hundreds of researchers working in universities, hospitals and research centres across Canada apply to the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute for funds to support their new research projects. These applications are subject to the Society’s rigorous, scientific review process, considered the gold standard in Canada. This review process involves assembling a team that combines top Canadian and international scientists with community representatives to discuss and rate the applications based on a number of criteria including scientific merit, innovation and potential impact. This process ensures that we fund only the best
research and that our research dollars are invested effectively and efficiently on projects holding the most promise for all Canadians so that everyone benefits.
How do you decide what type of research to fund? The Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute receives applications for research projects that range from basic laboratory research to clinical trials to studies in prevention and quality of life. We select those projects that involve the highest quality science and promise the most impact. To ensure that all types of research are represented in our funding program, we create unique competitions that focus on a specific type of research. The majority of the research we fund is aimed at understanding cancer biology and improving cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment. This type of research is important because it aims to improve the treatments and survival rates for cancer patients. We also contribute significantly to research into preventing cancer and improving the quality of life of those living with cancer.
Could you explain your fundraising costs? Effective fundraising is about much more than simply raising money. Our fundraising activities also raise awareness and build engagement in the fight against cancer. There are necessary costs to fundraising, such as processing and recognizing gifts and ensuring professional staff to help raise as much money as we can for our mission. By investing in fundraising, we can reach a larger audience with our important message and encourage all Ontarians to join the fight against cancer, which means we can raise even more money for our cause. Many of our donors are passionate about fighting cancer and want to be more involved with our cause rather than simply writing a cheque. Engaging our donors in a meaningful and memorable experience such as Relay For Life means our fundraising costs are higher but the return on investment is phenomenal in terms of the increased support for our cause.
Could you explain your fundraising costs? (Cont’d)
How much of my donation goes to administration?
There would be no mission, no research, no programs or advocacy if there wasn’t fundraising to support those activities. Some fundraising activities, such as lotteries, are more expensive than others. But if we don’t invest in fundraising, we will raise less and be forced to reduce the work that our donors consider essential. We regularly review and evaluate our fundraising activities to ensure that we raise the most funds in the most cost-effective way, enabling us to make the most impact while using donor contributions in a prudent and responsible way.
To ensure good governance, we engage in activities such as supporting our Board of Directors, annual general meetings and strategic planning. In addition, we are required to file financial records with the Canada Revenue Agency and produce annual audited financial reports. To cover these costs, we spend 4% and we support our presence in communities across the province.
Why do you run a lottery? Our lottery is a significant opportunity to raise both funds and awareness. Since 2001, our lottery has generated net proceeds of more than $52 million and last year alone we raised more than $10 million in net proceeds all directed solely to support lifesaving cancer research. Our lottery promotion helps us reach new audiences and communicate what we do so that Canadians know where to turn when they’re faced with a cancer diagnosis or if they are looking for information on how to prevent the disease. The good news is that our lottery pays for itself. The money spent to run the lottery — including promotion and the purchase of prizes — comes from ticket sales, not donations. Buying a lottery ticket is considered a purchase and no tax receipt is issued.
With all the money that’s been raised, how close are we to a cure? Cancer is not one disease. It’s actually about 200 different diseases. Cancer can’t be beaten with one quick fix. There are some cancers we can cure now. We are close to turning others into manageable diseases, making cancer a disease that you live with, not die from. Our investments in research over the decades have yielded many remarkable insights into how cancer develops and have greatly improved our ability to detect and treat the disease. As a result, today more than 60% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive compared with about 25% in the 1940s when the Canadian Cancer Society began funding research. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 Canadian lives have been saved in just the last 20 years because we are able to prevent, detect and treat cancer better.
Why does it seem like there are more people with cancer now than before?
We do not include our lottery expenses within the financial section of our Impact Report in order to distinguish actual fundraising expenses from costs to run a lottery.
Even though we’ve made tremendous progress, cancer cases are increasing simply because of our growing and aging population. Canadians aged 50 to 79 years represented almost 70% of all new cancer cases in 2012.
How much of my donation goes to fundraising?
The good news is that cancer death rates are dropping. Between 1988 and 2007, overall cancer death rates in Canada dropped by 21% in men and 9% in women.
We spend an average 30 cents of each dollar raised on fundraising. The remainder, or almost $59 million, is directed to funding life-saving cancer research, providing information and support to those living with cancer and engaging in prevention and advocacy activities. It is important to note that the cost to raise a dollar is only one aspect to consider when evaluating a charity. Ask yourself how effectively an organization uses your donation to achieve its mandate, how much it contributes overall to the fight against cancer and how great its impact is on the lives of Canadians. Our annual Impact Report is just one example of the many ways in which we report on how we are helping people and saving lives throughout the province.
Thanks to earlier detection and improved treatments, there are more survivors than ever before.
What if I have more questions? We welcome your questions. You can reach us by calling Donor Services at 1-800-268-8874 ext. 2034 or by emailing us at donorservices@ontario.cancer.ca.
