SUMMARY:Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month\nBeginning in 2024\, January is known as “Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month” throughout Canada. Health Canada and key stakeholders will raise awareness on this topic through social media campaigns and targeted events. \nSee OHCOW’s page about new information and legislation surrounding the work of Firefighters. \nIn June of 2023\, the enactment of Bill C-224\, A National Framework on Cancers Linked to Firefighting provides for the development of a national framework designed to raise awareness of cancers linked to firefighting with the goal of improving access for firefighters to cancer prevention and treatment. The Canadian Association of Fire chiefs has more information. \nIn partnership with the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN)\, the International Association of Firefighters IAFF designated January as Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month to provide fire fighters the necessary tools and guidance to develop life-saving protocols for cancer prevention and to support those with a cancer diagnosis within their departments. \nStay tuned for more information to come. \n

SUMMARY:Lung Cancer Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Canada for both men and women\, with approximately 6\,900 deaths expected in Ontario alone in 2014.

While smoking is the main cause of lung cancer\, there are also many other contributors that can cause lung cancer. These include things in the environment\, such as outdoor air pollution and radon in homes\, and occupational carcinogens\, which are found in many workplaces. \nMore info.
