About Ovarian Cancer Canada
Updates from Our Friends at Ovarian Cancer Canada
Our friends at Ovarian Cancer Canada have some wonderful updates to share with us. From time to time, we’ll be highlighting some of the exciting news and initiatives from their organization.
Below are some of the latest updates:
JUNE 2025
June is a time for reflection, recognition, and renewed commitment. As we honour Indigenous History Month, we’re spotlighting voices that are shaping the future of ovarian cancer care – like Tiffany, whose advocacy is deeply rooted in culture and community. We’re also celebrating bold acts of hope: from the unveiling of the limited-edition 2025 Walk of Hope t-shirt to powerful stories like Leigh and Jenna’s, who are changing the landscape of this disease, one step at a time.
Breakthroughs don’t happen in isolation. They happen because people like you show up, speak out, and take action. Every effort matters – and together, we’re driving real, lasting change.
Honouring Indigenous Identity in Ovarian Cancer Care – Meet Tiffany
This Indigenous History Month, meet Tiffany – a proud Métis and Cree woman and ovarian cancer advocate whose journey is deeply rooted in culture, ceremony, and community.
From working with Elders and attending sweat lodge ceremonies to fundraising through traditional beadwork and participating in the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope, Tiffany is using her voice to call for culturally safe care and greater Indigenous representation in cancer research.
