International Childhood Cancer Day

Light Up Canada for International Childhood Cancer Day

Let's light up Canada!

Join landmarks across the country, as we light up Canada in recognition of International Childhood Cancer Day on Saturday, February 15th!

International Childhood Cancer Day is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer, and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families.

The day promotes increased appreciation and deeper understanding of issues and challenges relevant to childhood cancer and impacting on children/adolescents with cancer, the survivors, lives lost,  and their families.

It also spotlights the need for more equitable and better access to treatment and care for all children with cancer, everywhere.
