Message from
the Chair
My mandate as the Chairman of the
Board of Directors began in June 2011,
and it is with pride that I take up where
my predecessor Pierre-Alain Rodrigue
left off. Cancer is a cause that is close
to my heart, and I believe that the
Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is the
organization that is best positioned
to provide leadership and mobilize
effective action.
which collected 60,000 signatures,
and the hard-hitting campaign,
“The Hidden Face of Tanning Salons,”
attracted a great deal of coverage. In all,
our organization was mentioned 3,136
times in the media. Our Facebook
page includes over 12,000 fans and has
become an outstanding resource for
informing, mobilizing, and listening
to the public.
2011-2012 is a pivotal year. In order
to align ourselves with the national
strategic plan, our fight against cancer
now targets three objectives. We are
focusing our efforts on reducing the
incidence rate, reducing the mortality
rate, and enhancing the quality of life
of people in Quebec living with and
beyond cancer.
I would like to thank Suzanne Dubois
and the team as a whole for the great
work they have accomplished and the
Board of Directors for its support.
I would also like to express my heartfelt
thanks to you, our volunteers, donors,
partners, and employees, for your
commitment and involvement.
Through your actions, you foster life.
For greater impact in the fight against
cancer, we deploy the following
strategies: research, advocacy, and
various support, prevention, and
information programs. We also rely
on a network of 30,000 volunteers
and committed employees, innovative
financial development ideas, and
effective communication resources
to keep the public informed.
From a media perspective, 2011-2012
was an exceptional year. The petition

Message from the
Executive Director
Speaking in my capacity as Executive
Director, I can assure you that the
Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) makes
every effort to prevent cancer, save lives,
and help people living with the disease.
Thanks to the $31.8 million raised
this year—$1.8 million more than last
year—we have made a positive impact
on the lives of thousands of people and,
as a result, have helped to foster life.
“Cancer is
a cause that
is close to my
heart, and
I believe that
the Canadian
Cancer Society
is the organization that is

“Thanks to the
$31.8 million

year—$1.8

thousands of
people and,
as a result,

Jean-Daniel Brisson
Suzanne Dubois
In the 2011-2012 fiscal year, our
Cancer Information Service reached
a historic milestone. In 15 years, our
information specialists have responded
to over one million requests from across
the country. We also celebrated the
10th anniversary of the Ligne j’Arrête
helpline and took another step forward
in the fight against smoking. The Ligne
j’Arrête helpline number now appears
on all cigarette packs, which represents
an outstanding accomplishment.
At the national level, a new grants
program was developed in efforts to
promote promising research projects.
The new program places the CCS in
a science “pipeline” where its grants
provide a complement to funding
supplied by governmental agencies.
As a result, it helps to ensure continuity
in the level of support provided
to researchers. In the initial stages,
innovation grants provide support
for emerging ideas; and, in subsequent
stages, impact grants ensure that
research advances translate into effective applications in the fight against all
cancers.
Once again this year, your donations
have had a tremendous impact
throughout Quebec. Over $7 million
has been devoted to psychosocial,
material, and financial assistance
for people living with cancer. Over
$5 million was invested in prevention
activities, thereby enabling the CCS
to provide more support to more people
in their fight for life.
I would like to thank Pierre-Alain
Rodrigue, our outgoing Chairman.
Though he is retiring from the Board
of Directors, he will continue to be
a dedicated volunteer and take part
in activities and committees.
I would also like to thank you for
believing in our fight for life. Your
commitment and support provide a
tremendous boost to all of our actions.

research
In the thick of the fight
Cancer is the leading cause of death
in Canada. Because understanding the
disease is a prerequisite for fighting it
effectively, the Canadian Cancer Society
(CCS) has made cancer research one
of its leading concerns.
In 2011, the Quebec Division invested
$7.2 million in the most promising
cancer research projects. A total of
68 researchers work within three areas
of science, namely, fundamental
research, clinical research, and
psychosocial research. Across Canada,
the CCS has contributed a total of
$47 million to cancer research initiatives.
Last year, funds invested by the
CCS were equal to 9.5% of total
funding—from both government and
non-government sources—dedicated
to cancer research.* Among national
charities, the CCS is the leading
charitable funder of cancer research
in Canada: its level of investment
exceeded 50% of the funding supplied
by the non-government sector.
A new grants program
The year 2011 was a defining period
for the CCS. The Canadian Cancer
Society Research Institute (CCSRI)
has implemented a brand new grants
program.
The program is in line with the
objectives of the new national strategic
plan and provides researchers with
grant categories that correspond more
closely to their needs, while meeting
the priorities established by the CCS.
Attentive to the needs
of researchers
The new research portfolio should also
enable the CCS to increase grants for
researchers as well as provide them with
“The fact that my
research is funded
by the CCS, which
supports research
that leads to new
treatment and
medication, has
struck a chord. I
am very grateful
to the CCS and
its volunteers for
helping me pursue
my research efforts.”
Dr Damien D’Amours,
CCS-funded researcher and
CCS volunteer
researchers
received
funding
more flexible research timetables and
a broader range of funds. As a result, the
organization continues to invest in the
fight against cancer through grants and
through the funding of key programs,
such as the Clinical Trials Group.
The William E. Rawls
Prize
In 2011, Dr Nada Jabado, a pediatric
hematologist and oncologist at the
Montreal Children’s Hospital of the
McGill University Health Centre
(MUHC), received the William E.
Rawls Prize for excellence in cancer
research. The Prize is given to a young
Canadian investigator whose work has
led to key advances in cancer control
within the past decade; the National
Board of Directors of the CCS awards
it annually.
Dr Jabado, the study’s principal
investigator, and her team have
identified two genetic mutations
that are responsible for nearly 40%
of glioblastomas in children, one of
the most lethal forms of brain cancer
that is unresponsive to chemotherapy
and radiotherapy treatments. These
mutations may account for the tumour’s
resistance to additional treatment.
$47
million
invested
in Canada
This discovery may have significant
implications on the treatment of other
cancers.
Among the best
in Canada
Researchers funded by the CCS are
among the best in Canada, according
to a study published in the American
Journal of Evaluation. Their scientific
impact is greater than that of other
researchers in the country. The study
assessed the CCS research grants
program and found that researchers
funded by the CCS publish more
papers, appear in the most prestigious
scientific journals, and are referenced
more often by other researchers.

Unite for the cause
It is estimated that one person in four
will die from cancer. Since cancer
touches everyone and since it is up to us,
individually and collectively, to eradicate
this disease, the Canadian Cancer
Society strongly and publicly advocates
legislation and policies designed to
protect public health.
Initiatives undertaken over the past year
are the result of a strategy applied to its
full potential in the Relay For Life events,
in collaboration with the CCS’s various
departments, and through mobilization
efforts on the Web.
Outstanding citizen
mobilization against UV
In 2011, the CCS mobilized supporters,
the public, the media, and elected
officials on the hazards of tanning beds
and the need for legislation to regulate
the tanning salon industry.
Efforts in this regard began with
the launch of Daffodil Month at
the National Assembly, where the
Advocacy team met with some fifteen
MNAs. At the same time, the team
presented its claims to Dr Yves Bolduc,
Quebec’s Minister of Health and Social
Services, and to members of the official
opposition.
Citizens then took ownership of the
campaign. A petition was circulated in
all 82 Relay For Life events calling on the
Minister of Health and Social Services
to create legislation to regulate the
tanning salon industry. Almost 60,000
signatures were collected, making this
petition the third-largest effort of its
kind in the past two years and the
largest sponsored by a community-based
organization.
Signatures in hand, the CCS met with
60 MNAs to present public support for
the initiative in their ridings. In all, 35
MNAs from all parties submitted part
of the petition to the National Assembly.
The CCS has also drawn support from
over 600 organizations and institutions
that believe that the tanning salon
industry should be regulated.
The CCS was also invited to present
a report to Quebec’s Health and Social
Services Commission. In addition, the
CCS submitted a report justifying its
call for taxation on artificial tanning
services as part of the government’s
pre-budget consultation process.
All of these initiatives were supported
by the hard-hitting “The Hidden Face
of Tanning Salons” campaign and the
testimonials of spokespersons who had
survived skin cancer. The campaign
was carried out thanks to funding from
Ministère de la Santé et des Services
sociaux du Québec.

smoking under review
With regard to cancer, smoking is still
the leading killer. That is why the CCS
continues to be active on this front:
following the CCS’s letter campaign
of last year, the Quebec government has
announced that an additional $3 million
will be invested in the VITAL project,
which targets tobacco smuggling in
neighbourhoods and schoolyards.
“My grandparents
died from cancer.
I’m involved in the
fight more for the
public good than
because of my
personal history.
This is a battle
for people and a
commitment for
society in general.
People have to get
together and work
together to bring
about change.”

In addition, the Quebec government’s
Public Finance Commission invited the
CCS to present a report in collaboration
with the organization’s National Office.
Maintaining contact
The CCS is driven to motivate its allies.
To that end, it sends information about
its initiatives several times a year using
an e-blast.
To publicize the electronic petition
on skin cancer and artificial tanning,
the CCS got in touch with over
200,000 volunteers, donors, and other
partners in efforts to build community
commitment around the issue.

We are here for you
In 2011, an estimated 46,500 people
in Quebec learned that they had cancer
and 20,100 people died from the
disease. Cancer affects parents, friends,
and colleagues. In efforts to provide
assistance to the thousands of people
whom cancer affects, the Canadian
Cancer Society (CCS) has established
various support programs.
Cancer J’écoute
Cancer J’écoute is a psychosocial
support service created in 2003. As part
of this service, counsellors, healthcare
professionals, and qualified volunteers
listen to people who face cancer, and
provide them with support and enabling
tools.
In 2011-2012, the Cancer J’écoute
team responded to over 500 requests
for support and information, over the
phone and by e-mail. These requests
may require providing immediate action
or practical advice.
Cancer J’écoute also offers more
personalized phone support by matching
either volunteers who have had cancer
or healthcare professionals who are
knowledgeable about the disease with
callers for whom this level of support
may be especially beneficial. This
matching service may be provided over
the course of a few telephone calls or

Services for the
community
The CCS wishes to be present
everywhere, for everyone. In 2011-2012,
in addition to its 14 regional offices,
the CCS operated 17 service centres
throughout Quebec. Among other
services, these establishments provide
wigs, free documentation, and access
to support groups, including monthly
get-togethers as well as art and
visualization workshops.
“Speaking to an
attentive person who
has had the same
experience was a
great help for me.
I felt that the people
I talked to were
happy to talk to me.
I didn’t feel so alone
any more. At the CCS,
people welcome you
just as you are, and
I feel at home there.”
Marie-Josée, survivor and volunteer
Multiple support
In 2011, a total of 73 support groups
of all kinds helped to enhance the wellbeing of people living with cancer.
These support groups are present in
31 cities. To assist group participants,
the CCS has developed various tools,
including notably a relaxation CD
that has met with great success: to date,
over 8,000 copies have been distributed.
Relieve the financial
burden
Cancer upsets every aspect of a person’s
life. That is why the CCS also provides
material and financial assistance.
In 2011, 6,420 medical care packages
were delivered throughout Quebec.
A total of 1,912 people benefited from
this support, for an overall investment
of $369,400.
To help people in need, the Financial
Assistance Program responded to 4,943
requests for financial assistance. These
requests are mainly tied to transportation
and totalled over a million dollars.
The Jacques-Cantin
Lodge
The Jacques-Cantin Lodge is located
in Montreal and provides lodgings to
off-island residents who come to the city
for treatment and to their companions.
In 2011, the Jacques-Cantin Lodge
provided accommodations for 927
people, which represents a 9% increase
over the previous year.

Prevention in action
We now know that nearly 50% of
cancers can be prevented through the
adoption of healthy lifestyles and public
health policies. In efforts to bring about
a significant reduction in the number
of cancer cases, the Canadian Cancer
Society (CCS) targets known risk factors
and delivers tangible action.
Targeting smoking
A study conducted for the CCS in 2011
shows that over 70% of smokers are
seriously considering quitting. To help
them, the CCS offers several support
programs.
The Ligne j’Arrête helpline celebrated its
10th anniversary on January 5, 2012.
It offers resources to help smokers kick
the habit; in 10 years, it has supported
over 95,000 smokers in their efforts to
quit and processed over 170,000 requests.
Key victories in the fight against
smoking in 2011 include the appearance
of larger photos and the Ligne j’Arrête
helpline number on cigarette packs.
The helpline has also entered into
agreements with partners to support
hospitalized smokers and works closely
with the Prevention team in the
development of the SMAT program
(Short Messages Against Tobacco).
Increasing cancer
screening
Early screening of certain types of cancer
contributes to reducing mortality rates.
There is still a great deal of progress
to be made in Quebec, particularly with
regard to colorectal cancer screening.
For breast cancer screening, the
“Reminder to Remind Her” campaign
was used to encourage women to have
a mammogram. As a result, over 23,000
women purchased a “Thingamaboob”,
an educational tool that shows why
mammograms are so important, at
Jean Coutu pharmacies. The campaign
was a media success thanks to its
spokesperson, comedian Lise Dion.
Reducing exposure
to UV rays
Youths are the tanning industry’s
primary target: 70% of users of artificial
tanning services are young women
aged 16 to 29. In September, the CCS
launched a hard-hitting campaign,
“The Hidden Face of Tanning Salons,”
that was very successful. Nearly 600
youths made use of the CCS’s UV
photomaton and discovered the real and
permanent skin damage that UV rays
cause. Over 27,000 people visited the
campaign’s Facebook page.

Setting an example
In 2011, Sun Squad leaders set an
example for 36,000 youngsters by
encouraging them to protect themselves
against UV rays and reduce their risk
of contracting skin cancer. As part
of the Relay For Life event, the CCS
also presents the “Lunch for Life”
activity. In 2011, 55 Relay For Life

To promote physical activity, Trottibus
helps parents out by accompanying
their kids to school. In 2011, 16 schools
joined the project, and 4,000 youngsters
and their parents discovered the joys

Cancer encompasses some 200 different
diseases. Understanding symptoms,
treatments, and facts and myths is not
easy. In efforts to address the public’s
need for information, the Canadian
Cancer Society (CCS) has developed
reliable and easy-to-understand
information validated by oncology
specialists that is delivered on multiple
platforms.
A million requests

The Montreal Centre of the Cancer
Information Service (CIS) processes
French-language information requests
from across Canada. Specially trained
information specialists are available to
answer all requests for information with
respect to cancer (including prevention,
diagnosis, available resources, etc.).
On August 4, 2011, the CIS answered
its millionth information request for
all of Canada. This impressive milestone
caught the media’s attention. The
Montreal Centre processed 15,981
information requests over the past year,
including 2,074 by e-mail.

January 31, 2012, cancer.ca attracted
454,074 visitors. In all, 1,587,116 pages
were viewed.
On cancer.ca, the Canadian Cancer
Encyclopedia™ provides access to a vast
bilingual database on all cancer-related
subjects, from prevention to end-of-life
care. In 2011, 500,151 searches were
carried out using this tool, which is 77%
more than in the previous year.
An online directory is also available
for finding services and resources in
specific communities. The directory
includes over 5,000 services. In 2011,
the directory attracted 20,760 visits,
a 50% increase compared with 2010.
A new
online community
In March 2011, the CCS launched
CancerConnection.ca. The site enables
people affected by cancer to share their
experience and create ties in a safe
and welcoming virtual environment.
Over 16,500 visitors have browsed
this online forum and over 235 have
become members.
Print is still present
While the CCS is committed to staying
current with leading-edge technology,
it still offers a library of nearly 60
regularly updated publications. These
publications, offered free of charge and
in several languages, are available upon
request.
Over the past year, two new documents
were created, namely, Chemotherapy and
other drug therapies: A guide for people
with cancer and Questions to ask about
cancer. All CCS publications are also
available online.

Development
A greater impacT
on cancer
Over the course of their lifetime, 40%
of women and 45% of men are at risk
of developing cancer. Risk increases
with age, and nearly 88% of new cancer
diagnoses will be made among babyboomers.. The disease may affect family
members, friends or even yourself.
Cancer-related needs are urgent, and
the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS)
represents the best investment in the
fight against all cancers.
The CCS’s increasing proceeds are due
to its donors’ generosity. Without their
support, the CCS would be unable
to fund research, engage in healthcarerelated advocacy, and implement
support, information and prevention
programs. That is why the CCS has
created a broad range of fundraising
activities designed to address all needs;
in 2011-2012, this multi-faceted
approach raised a total of $31.8 million.
Relay For Life
Taking part in the all-night Relay For
Life event is a way of participating in
a major movement against cancer. This
three-part activity, which is the largest
fundraising event in the fight against
cancer, celebrates people living with
cancer; it pays tribute to those who
are battling or have lost their battle to
cancer; and it fights back against cancer.
In 2011, 82 Relay For Life events
were held in as many municipalities
throughout Quebec. In all,
$14.2 million was raised, which is
$1.3 million more than last year.
Relay For Life now accounts for 46.1%
of the Quebec Division’s proceeds.
As many as 226,112 luminaries lit
pathways for 52,717 participants,
10,723 survivors, and 8,000 volunteers
who assembled for one whole night
to show their support for people living
with the disease. For the first time
in 2011, a wintertime Relay For Life
was held in Hérouxville, a first both
in Quebec and Canada!

organization’s fight against cancer,
throughout the month of April as a sign
of solidarity. Daffodil pins were available
at participating Groupe BMR stores
throughout Quebec.

The event also featured fresh daffodils,
with over 2 million blooming flowers
available at nearly 2,600 points of sale
from March 31 to April 3. Overall,
$2.3 million was raised in this event
sponsored by actress Marie Turgeon.
To motivate the troops and kick off the
next edition, Relay For Life organizers
convene once a year. In 2011, over
100 organizers took part in the Relay
Summit, where they shared tips and
advice as well as accomplishments and
future project ideas.
The Daffodil Ball
New this past year:
Daffodil Month
The Daffodil Ball featured
a Russian Romance
In April 2011, the CCS launched the
first ever edition of Daffodil Month,
a vast solidarity movement designed
to make a real difference and help tens
of thousands of people in their battle
against cancers.
The 18th edition of the Daffodil Ball
was held on April 28, 2011. Over 700
personalities from the world of business
were transported to the country of the
czars as part of a “Russian Romance.”
The Daffodil Ball is recognized as the
most prestigious gala event in Canada
in support of the fight against cancer.
The event raised $2.1 million and stood
out at the 2011 Special Events Gala
Awards, where it garnered a prize in the
“Best Entertainment” category.

Open to all forms
of giving
There are many ways to give to
the CCS. Support from dedicated
volunteers has led to the development
of various fundraising activities that
are sure to please and attract a growing
number of donors. Over $2.1 million
was raised thanks to the success of
the gourmet gatherings, Paws for Hope,
Volleyball Challenge, and Cops for
Cancer.
The CCS’s public fundraising
campaigns have attracted high-profile
personalities, including former hockey
player Xavier Delisle, actress Marie
Turgeon, and comedian Lise Dion.
Over 2,400 new donors answered the
call as part of a general CCS fundraising
campaign in 2011.

Recognizing commitment
It is estimated that over 60% of people
are still alive five years after their
diagnosis. The Canadian Cancer Society
(CCS) is here to support them and their
families, friends, and colleagues.
The CCS fights with them, for life.
The Golden Daffodil, the highest
honorific distinction awarded by the
Quebec Division, recognizes volunteers
who have stood out thanks to the scope
and consistency of their commitment
and application of the CCS’s values.
This year, the CCS celebrated JeanPierre Lapointe’s participation as part
of its annual meeting. Since 1980,
Mr Lapointe has devoted his time to
the CCS, and his involvement amounts
to over 1,500 hours a year. Among other
activities, he has been involved with
Cancer J’écoute, the sale of daffodils,
and the Relay For Life event.
The Canadian Cancer Society wants to
become the organization of choice for
people in Quebec who wish to donate,
volunteer, or work as part of the fight
against cancer. The CCS does everything
in its power to attract and retain
volunteers and employees, providing
them with opportunities to develop
their skill sets and abilities in accordance
with their interests and its mission.
In 2011, 30,000 volunteers and
200 employees devoted their talents
to the cause.
A new name
The CCS’s people power includes
employees, volunteers, and partners.
Senior management decided to put
forward a new name to refer to all
CCS ambassadors that more accurately
reflects its values. In the autumn
of 2011, the Human Resources
Department became “Culture and
Engagement.” The new name enables
the CCS to showcase its ambassadors
who display caring, courage, integrity
and progressive values on a daily basis
in the fight against cancer.
The National Recognition Program
enables the CCS to reward individuals,
businesses, and groups that have made
outstanding contributions in the fight
against cancer. One notable case is
that of Michael Lemieux, a volunteer
since 2008 and cancer survivor who
received the Medal of Courage in 2011.
As a volunteer with Cancer J’écoute,
Mr Lemieux has provided support
and encouragement to many people
with cancer and to their caregivers.
The Medal of Courage showcases an
individual’s outstanding courage in his
or her own battle with cancer.

To become the
reference organization
in cancer-related
matters
Cancer is the leading cause of death
in Canada. As a result of its activities
and advocacy initiatives, the Canadian
Cancer Society (CCS) is the organization that has the greatest impact in more
communities in the fight against all
cancers.
The CCS’s key challenge is to stand
out and make its services known to
the public. Our objective is to position
ourselves as the organization of choice
and encourage people in Quebec to
develop lasting relationships with the
CCS as donors, volunteers or staff
members. The CCS makes every effort
to sustain a balanced and impactful
presence in the media.
High visibility
In 2011, the Canadian Cancer Society
was by far the charity that attracted
the most visibility in the media. The
CCS has positioned itself as a leader
with regard to cancer and takes part in
discussion around many health-related
issues. In 2011, the CCS was mentioned
as many as 3,136 times in the media,
both print and electronic. It has also
significantly extended its presence on
social networks (Twitter, Facebook).
On January 31, 2012, the CCS’s
Facebook page included 12,109 fans,
and 1,715 subscribers followed the CCS
on Twitter, for respective increases of
137% and 104% since the previous year.

Engaging with you
The CCS has been very proactive
in sustaining an ongoing online
conversation and relationship with the
public. In accordance with its forwardlooking focus, it has used its expertise
to create a strong brand and initiate
opportunities to share with the public,
engage in wide-ranging discussion,
and, above all, remain attentive to all
of its numerous stakeholders.
In the spotlight
In order to assert its leadership in the
fight against cancer, the CCS deploys
campaigns throughout the year designed
to publicize its mission and fundraising
activities.
The CCS enjoys strong
presence on social media
More support.
Cultivating a sense
of belonging
Multiple tools have been implemented
to cultivate a sense of belonging among
CCS employees, volunteers, donors,
and the general public as well. Twice
a year, the Quebec Division publishes
Interaction, the CCS’s magazine.
A shorter version of the magazine is
also sent to donors. An online version
was launched in 2011, with each issue
reaching over 4,500 volunteers.
The PLUS campaign
In the autumn of 2011, in efforts to
showcase the work achieved by cancer
researchers and build closer ties with the
science community, the CCS published
its science magazine, Priority Research.
The media show strong
interest in the CCS
Daffodil Month provided an
opportunity to observe the campaign’s
viral potential within social media
thanks to the use of a virtual daffodil
that supporters were able to add to their
profile picture and invite friends to
do the same. In all, 7,240 people
answered the call and displayed their
daffodil online.
The CCS uses the full potential offered
by social networks, public relations,
and media placement to publicize
its activities. The “Hidden Face of
Tanning Salons” campaign was an
excellent illustration of this integrated
approach, providing unprecedented
media scope and visibility of about
14 million impressions. The campaign
was a finalist in the health category for the
“Prix Égalité” awarded by the Ministère
de la Culture, des Communications et de la
Condition féminine.
In 2011, the CCS also personalized its
“PLUS” advertising campaign by rallying
three allies to the cause. This threepronged campaign (research, prevention,
support) has been favourably received
by the public in Quebec.
According to a survey carried out
to assess the advertising campaign’s
impact, 75% of respondents recalled the
campaign and 83% of these respondents
expressed their appreciation for it. In all,
91% of participants said that the PLUS
campaign contributed to the Canadian
Cancer Society’s positive image, and
88% believe that it positioned the CCS
as the reference organization in cancerrelated matters.

An outstanding
year in the fight
against cancer
A remarkable
performance
Year after year, the Canadian Cancer
Society’s Performance Assurance
Committee is committed to monitoring,
in a rigorous and transparent manner,
the administration of the donations
that the organization receives from the
public.
As Chairman of the Committee since
May 2011, I am pleased to present
to you the 2011-2012 financial
statements for the Quebec Division.
In 2011-2012, despite the sombre
economic climate, the Canadian Cancer
Society’s proceeds rose by 5.8% in
comparison with the previous year,
culminating at an unprecedented
$31.8 million. This new peak is the
result of the generosity of donors
and partners and the tireless work
of volunteers and staff.
Greater impact
on our mission
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS)
has increased its investments toward
each objective in its mission. More
funding has been devoted to research,
programs, and services as well as
advocacy initiatives in a comprehensive
effort to provide people living with
cancer with even greater support.
Statement of Revenue
and Expenses
Operation, Stability and Initiative Fund for the year ended
January 31, 2012 (in thousands of dollars)
Since research is essential in
understanding and overcoming cancer,
it remains the organization’s priority
focus. This year, $7.2 million has been
devoted to research efforts.
In accordance with its ongoing
commitment to transparency, the
Quebec Division has decided to present
its financial statements in full on its
Web site at cancer.ca for the first time.
Your donations allow the CCS to foster
life wherever the disease is present.
I would like to thank each one of our
donors and volunteers, including
my fellow Committee members, the
Board of Directors, and all CCS staff
for their commitment in the fight
against all cancers.

Canadian Cancer Society | annual report 2011-2012
Fostering life is at the very heart of the
CCS’s mission. We are committed to
meeting three key objectives: reducing
cancer incidence rates; reducing cancer
mortality rates and enhancing the
quality of life of people living with and
beyond cancer.
Actions in the field
The CCS funds research, publicly
advocates pro-health legislation and
policies, and supports more programs
in the fight against cancer than any
other charitable organization. As you
can see from this annual report, it deploys
truly effective actions in the field.
This year, $31.8 million was raised
thanks to the generosity of thousands
of donors. These financial resources
have allowed the CCS to make tangible
contributions in the fight against cancer.
Cancer-related needs are on the rise, and
that is why we count on your support to
continue to make a difference.
Every day, thousands of people are
affected directly or indirectly by
cancer. Your donation helps to make
a significant impact in their lives
and a positive contribution against
this disease.
A significant impact
Carole, Damien, Jessica, MarieJosée, Laurence, and Line: they have
all been touched by cancer. Their
testimony provides tangible evidence
that your contribution helps to foster
life and hope among those who have
experienced this terrible disease.
There is no such thing as a small
donation. Without you, we would
not be able to achieve what we are
achieving. We need you. Thanks
to your support, together we can hope
to defeat cancer one day.
thank you.

“ Many people in various contexts
of my life have battled cancer, some
successfully, others less so. Who
it strikes seems to be frighteningly
arbitrary—no matter the lifestyle,
nobody is untouchable. And in addition
to the pain associated with watching
someone you care about go through
this battle, each new occurrence adds
to the fear that another loved one or
even I myself may be next. The survival
rates are much greater than they used
to be, but not nearly good enough,
and the only way to improve those
rates is to continue to fund research.”

Planned Giving

Lise Lessard
“ My only sister died at age 52 of colon cancer. She had
no children. I was devastated by this loss and I wanted
to make a gesture in her memory. At the time, I was
working for a life insurance company and I was aware
of the practice of planned giving through a life insurance
policy. I was sure that planned giving would have a
tremendous impact on charities. In their lifetime, donors
benefit in many ways: it is a fiscal advantage; making
a gesture in support of an important personal cause
provides personal satisfaction; and there is also the
satisfaction of knowing that you leave behind something
of value in the world. I am convinced that the amount
I will leave to the CCS after I pass on will help people
living with cancer and their families and help enhance
their everyday life.”

The good news is that cancer research

“ Like so many among you, cancer
has affected many people I know.
Taking part in the Relay For Life
seemed to be a nice way to do my
part against this disease. Yes,
the Canadian Cancer Society funds
research, but it also offers many
other services, including support,
information, awareness campaigns,
and so on. The number of cancer
cases is going up, and we need
to preserve these services.
That’s what keeps me motivated
to continue.”

dies from the
disease every
26 minutes.
