Canadian Chapters
There are four chapters in Canada including Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. There are also satellite offices in Edmonton and Victoria. Each chapter provides patient services to those suffering from blood cancers, as well as manages fundraising campaigns such as Team in Training, Light The Night Walk and Pennies for Patients. The Society also provides services to patients and their families through their Patient Services programs, and runs awareness campaigns through the School & Youth program.
