Taking Action Against Colorectal Cancer: Observing Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about colorectal cancer, its risk factors, prevention strategies, and the importance of early detection. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in Canada, with thousands of new cases diagnosed each year. This type of cancer affects the colon or rectum and can develop slowly over many years, often starting as precancerous polyps. By educating the public about risk factors, symptoms, and screening options, we can help reduce the burden of colorectal cancer and save lives.

Recognizing Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month

March marks Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding of this neurological condition and supporting those affected by it.

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, disrupting the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body. Symptoms vary widely and can include fatigue, weakness, numbness, cognitive impairment, and mobility challenges. MS is unpredictable and affects each individual differently, making diagnosis, treatment, and management complex. Our directory provides a range of support services and educational resources.
