PIERRE and SUZANNE Your impact
We’ve come a long way
We’re there
It’s true. Over the years, we have marked the important advances in the fight against cancer together. Just think about the survival rate, which has more than doubled from 25% to 63% since we started funding cancer research in the 1940s. But in spite of all this, the families of some 20,000 Quebecers who died last year as a result of the disease will tell you: there are too many lives lost.
The CCS is not only a cancer charity that saves more lives in the country. We are also present in more communities, for more Quebecers. In 2013, 370 people turned to us every day for support, information, and ways to prevent cancer.
The sky’s the limit Despite the economic meltdown, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), manages to achieve great things because of you. How? By prevention because nearly half of the incidence of cancer can be prevented by leading a healthy life and the implementation of public health policies. Then, by funding hundreds of innovative research projects. The Canadian Cancer Society is the leading national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada. Like you, we are full of hope. Our goal: increase the survival rate to 80% by 2030. If we work together, everything is possible.
What’s extraordinary is not the CCS. It’s you.

You’re extraordinary What’s extraordinary is not the CCS. It’s you. You who give your time or your money, who walk for the cause, who listen. All of you who contribute, in your own way, to saving more lives. We need you more than ever. Our sincere thanks!

MAUDE
SAVED BY A TRANSPLANT
«
Everything falls apart I had just celebrated my 22nd birthday and I was studying administration when I understood why I had been so tired for a while. Why I woke up at night, sweating. I had lymph node cancer. Everything happened very quickly. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy and the last step, which would save my life: an allogeneic bone marrow transplant.
No accommodation on the island, no transplant In Quebec, only three centres offer such transplants. I went to Montreal. The doctors were very clear. To receive a transplant, I had to guarantee that I would be less than an hour’s drive away from the hospital during the critical first 100 days following the operation. I live in Kingsey Falls, which is 150 km from Montreal. So, soon after I received my transplant, my mother and I checked into the Jacques-Cantin Lodge located right next to the hospital where I would be going two or three times a week for my follow-up tests.

Maude Lallier, lymph node cancer survivor
Today, I am in complete remission from cancer. My blood group is now the same as my donor’s, I have two scars on my thorax and I am not exactly the same any more. But I am alive and every day, I think about those who made it possible for me to have my transplant.
AlloG‌ what? Diagnosis, signs and symptoms, treatments, statistics: sometimes, it is difficult to sort them all out. But being well-informed helps you face cancer more effectively and make better decisions. That is why we answer all your questions and provide reliable information on all aspects of the disease. More answers by visiting cancer.ca or calling 1 888 939-3333.
More than information requests since 1996
A home away from home We do not decide where we will receive cancer treatment. Sometimes, we are separated from our hospital by hundreds of kilometres. The Jacques-Cantin Lodge offers accommodation to people living far from Montreal who need to come to the city for treatment. Everything is done to ensure that they feel at home and can focus on what is most important: getting better.
Maude celebrated her 23rd birthday and her cancer remission
The discovery that would save thousands of lives In 1961, Dr Ernest McCulloch and Dr James Till, both funded by the Canadian Cancer Society, made a discovery that would revolutionize medical science: they proved the existence of stem cells. This discovery led to bone marrow transplants, which today, save lives like Maude’s. Over the years, many of our researchers have continued working on it. And the research will not stop until this treatment can be offered to all those who need it.

bone marrow transplants every year to save more people like Maude

Sylvain BUYING TIME
«
The shock Seven years ago, I was given three weeks to live. It all started with a mole the size of a dollar coin on my right shoulder. Diagnosis: advanced melanoma, the deadliest of skin cancers. I was 27 years old then. I was a physical education teacher and I loved what I did. When the doctor told me that his only goal was to save my life, I understood how serious my situation was. And that I would need other people more than ever.
All or nothing My cancer was too advanced. Conventional treatments did not work for me, but with a little bit of luck, experimental treatments would help me. So, my only hope was to give clinical trials a shot. And it worked. When I managed to buy three months, I wanted three more. Even today, I do all that I can to extend my life.
Making a difference If I had protected myself from the sun when I was younger, I could surely have prevented my cancer. To stop my story from repeating itself, I have become a volunteer at the Canadian Cancer Society. I visit schools to tell youths about the dangers of UV radiation. It may be too late for me, but I can make a difference in other people’s lives. Sylvain Poissant, living with skin cancer

Talking to someone who has been there
Skin cancer: the most common and most of the time, preventable
When faced with a cancer diagnosis like Sylvain’s, talking to someone can help better deal with cancer. But this support is not always easy to find. That is exactly where we come in. We match people living with cancer with volunteers who have gone through a similar experience and are trained to listen.
Clinical trials: tomorrow’s treatments The Canadian Cancer Society funds the Clinical Trials Group, the largest research centre of the kind in the country. For people like Sylvain, who do not respond to current treatments, experimental treatments tested in these clinical trials are sometimes their only chance of survival.
patients participated in clinical trials in the country in 2013
Artificial tanning: legislation that saves lives
430,000 youths made aware of the dangers of UV radiation in 2013
9
Seeing the number of cancer cases shoot up in Quebec, the Canadian Cancer Society decided to act and the public followed suit. In 2011, 60,000 Quebecers signed its petition demanding the regulation of the tanning industry. This citizens’ mobilization led to legislation on artificial tanning, which came into force in 2013. Today, it protects minors from tanning salons.

Micheline
FROM VICTIM TO ACTIVIST
«
A mistake of my youth I started smoking when I was still a 12-year-old child and continued until I was diagnosed with lung cancer at 57. Like many, I had made countless attempts to quit in vain. But I was lucky: I am a part of the 17% of people living with cancer who survive this disease.
Protecting youths I don’t want my 13-year-old granddaughter to fall into the same trap as me. Did you know that, on average, smokers have their first puff between 12 and 13 years of age? At this stage in their life, they are vulnerable to the devious marketing techniques used by tobacco companies. They are targeted with flavoured tobacco products tasting of sweets or fruits and colourful packaging resembling an iPhone or lipstick. Tobacco companies know that a teenager who starts smoking regularly becomes their customer for life.
Strengthening the Tobacco Act

Micheline Bélanger, lung cancer survivor
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has been fighting against the tobacco industry for a long time. This is why I am involved with this organization. On behalf of tobacco victims, I told my story before a parliamentary committee at the National Assembly and to the media. I did it to convince Quebec legislators that it is time to strengthen the Tobacco Act.
Earlier detection of lung cancer
27,500 calls in 2013 at the iQuitnow smokers’ helpline, managed by the CCS
Some 8,000 Quebecers were diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013. Often, their disease was already in a very advanced stage. This is why the majority of these people succumbed. If doctors could detect these cancers earlier, we would be able to save more lives. That is what Dr Haisan Zeng of the BC Cancer Agency is working on. Thanks to the CCS’s funding, he is developing a method which could one day, enable doctors to detect characteristic lung cancer molecules from the breath of the person living with the disease.
A rewarding battle
Around
Quebec youths smoke
In the 1960s, 50% of Canadians smoked. The Canadian Cancer Society then created a program to raise awareness of the hazards of smoking among youths. Over the years, it also pressured the Quebec and Canadian governments to obtain stricter laws to regulate tobacco use. Its efforts, along with those of its partners, have contributed to the decline of the percentage of smokers in Quebec to 23%. The lives of more than 37,000 people have been saved as a result in the past 20 years.
55,000 citizens make themselves heard
Tobacco is responsible for a third of all cancers in Canada
11
Apart from presenting its arguments before a parliamentary committee, the CCS launched a petition asking the strengthening of the Tobacco Act. It was signed by 55,000 citizens. Around 40 MNAs committed to tabling it at the National Assembly. The petition demanded four steps to be taken: a ban on flavoured tobacco products; a moratorium on all new products; plain and standardized packaging; and the regulation of electronic cigarettes under the Tobacco Act.

MESSAGE FROM THE TREASURER
Solid despite the challenges
I am honorary chair of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Audit and Risk Management Committee. The role of the committee is to ensure the rigorous and transparent management of the organization’s finances. In my capacity as chair, I am presenting the financial statements for the period from February 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014. The year was difficult: charities were not spared from the economic slowdown and there are more and more good causes to give to. Despite these difficulties, the CCS managed to convince donors of its impact and succeeded in increasing its revenue by nearly $500,000. Several success factors are worthy of mention. We created new fundraising strategies and Quebecers responded with generosity. This was achieved through the creativity of our employees and especially by tightly negotiating better deals with our suppliers. Also, considerable efforts were made to keep fundraising and administrative costs to a level similar to last year.
a little less in research this year. The investment, however, still remains significant and makes us the leading national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada: around 300 research teams are making progress every year because of your donations. In total, 71% of our revenue was dedicated to fulfilling our mission, which is to save more lives. We made investments to prevent more cancers, make more discoveries, and help more people living with the disease. In conclusion, I can assure you that the CCS is in good financial health and stringently manages the funds entrusted. The CCS believes in transparency, which is why I would like to suggest that you view the full financial statements on the cancer.ca website.
We also asked our 30,000 volunteers to help us to a greater extent by putting all their skills at the service of our cause. They have many talents and we decided to tap into them. This remarquable volunteer strength enabled us to do more, with the same financial resources. We have helped nearly 15% more people living with cancer through an increase in the relevant budget by just 6% from last year. This means that 3,800 more Quebecers benefited from the CCS’s services when they needed it the most.
Michel Reinhardt Treasurer and Chair of the Audit and Risk Management Committee
To maintain a solid financial status and face an uncertain economy, we took the precaution of investing

WE’RE ALL A PART OF THE SOLUTION
A thousand ways to get involved
A small flower for a great cause
Without you, nothing we do would be possible. If we can work every day to save more lives, it is because of you. Are you looking for new ways to get involved? Anything you do is good. Let your likes, time available, and skills decide for you. Simply follow your heart. Together, let’s save more lives.
April is Cancer Awareness Month. It is also the month when the Canadian Cancer Society sells two million fresh daffodils all across the province. Do you want to show your solidarity with people living with cancer? Buy our flowers and offer them as a gift – they will make people happy – or better yet, become a member of our sales team.
Let’s Relay Pull an all-nighter? Why not? Especially if it is to walk in the company of people you love and to celebrate life. Form a team for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life and raise funds to fight against cancer. Want an even bigger challenge? Participate in organizing a Relay in your region.
The power of mobilization It took 60,000 signatures to push for the passage of legislation on artificial tanning. Proof that together, we can change things. Let’s take action, whether it is by writing letters to newspaper editors and elected leaders or circulating our petitions, for instance. Your support helps us when the time comes to go before a parliamentary committee where laws are prepared.
Prevention is better… One in two. That is the number of cancer cases that are preventable through healthy lifestyle habits and policies that protect public health. Do you want to increase the number of cancer-free lives? It is possible. Help our children exercise every day by taking the Canadian Cancer Society’s Trottibus Walking School Bus. Or you can raise awareness among the young and old during our cancer prevention activities.

One on one Do you have a personal experience of cancer? Help people living with cancer face the disease more effectively: telephone support can make all the difference in the world. Is it rather face-to-face contact that interests you? Become responsible for one of our service centres and help people who are in need.
