Kidney Cancer Research Network Of Canada
The Kidney Cancer Research Network of Canada is a virtual and inclusive network of researchers committed to the facilitation of kidney cancer research across different sites in Canada that will enhance the knowledge of kidney cancer and its treatment.
Know Your Blood
Awareness of blood disorders within Canada’s African/Caribbean community is crucial due to rising immigration from these regions. This demographic shift may increase cases of inherited disorders like sickle cell anemia and thalassemias, along with acquired conditions such as diabetes and blood cancers.
Ethnically diverse blood donations are essential for better health outcomes, but historical barriers, including concerns about malaria and stereotypes, have discouraged Black donors. Despite efforts by Canadian Blood Services to reduce these obstacles, challenges remain.
CACHEducation
There are over 5,700 registered health charities in Canada. Of those, only a small percentage are likely managed by well qualified executive directors leading a properly trained staff and knowledgeable volunteers. In most cases, the advocacy groups are managed from kitchen tables and the leaders/staff are “trained” by word of mouth and learning from their mistakes. There is no school or program available to teach them how to raise funds, recruit and retain volunteers, write a grant, fund researchers, talk to government agencies, etc.
CACHE (Canadian Advocacy Champions of Health Education) wants to change that. There is a need in Canada to provide patient advocates with a comprehensive program that will properly qualify them to meet the many challenges they encounter when starting, maintaining, and growing their organization.
BioComposites Group
BioComposites Group is developing and integrating renewable, bio-based materials as part of a long-term campaign to produce products that leverage the local supply chain and reduce waste.
