If you or someone you love has been touched by breast cancer, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to support anyone affected by breast cancer. Most of our programs and services are free and you don’t need to be a member to sign up.

We care because we’ve been there. Our founders walked in the shoes of the newly diagnosed and keenly understood the stress and the difficulty in learning to cope.

Whatever you’re going through right now, we’re here to help.

Breast Cancer Action had a booth at  the Ottawa Women’s Show on April 13 & 14th at the Ottawa Convention Centre. We had an awesome time and met so many great people.  Our volunteers were invaluable reaching out and talking to women, telling folks about BCA and handing out our RONA cards! On  Sunday afternoon Katie Evans spoke about her experience as a young breast cancer survivor/butt-kicker!  What a great and inspiring speech!  THANKS to all our dedicated members, volunteers and Lynn for all that you brought to this successful and wonderful initiative!!!WomensShow2013
