About the Quebec Cancer Foundation
For over 45 years, the Quebec Cancer Foundation has dedicated the funds it raises to supporting, on a daily basis, the thousands of Quebecers living with cancer and their loved ones. The Foundation provides complementary therapies — physical well-being and psychological support — through its Regional Centres in Gatineau, Lévis, Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, and Rouyn-Noranda, in addition to operating the largest lodging network in the province. It also offers financial and legal assistance programs to people with cancer who are facing hardship. The Foundation provides its Workplace Support Program when cancer strikes on the job, as well as tailored assistance for young people aged 15 to 39 affected by cancer through its Félix Program. Finally, through its Info-Cancer Services, the Foundation provides listening, answers, and comfort, everywhere in Quebec.
One in two Quebecers will face cancer. But both will need support. We are here to help them.
