Among the most impactful moments was hearing from Dana Bellis, our amazing patient partner from Haida Gwaii, who shared her lived experience as a caregiver for her mother with pancreatic cancer in a remote community.
Beyond the sessions, it was the moments of connection that stood out, meeting like-minded researchers, exchanging ideas, and gathering Canadians together to celebrate our collective impact.
Advancing cancer control takes a global community. 🌍
