Wellness Exchange: Cancer Prevention and Screening

The WHRI is proud to host bi-annual public events, the @WomensResearch Wellness Exchange. These events directly support our strategic aim to Increase and Promote Research Translation, Implementation, and Communication to ensure that women’s health research is informed by women’s voices and flows back to women’s lives. This aim is guided by our Strategic Frameworks for Knowledge Translation and Patient Engagement. The @WomensResearch Wellness Exchange are FREE events that deliver the latest evidence directly to the public.

Our upcoming event, Cancer Screening and Prevention, on October 6th at 7:00 pm PST will be held virtually via Zoom and streamed live via Facebook.

Moderated by Emcee Shirley Weir, you will hear the latest evidence about breast cancer screening, ovarian cancer prevention, and cervical cancer screening and prevention from Dr. Paula Gordon, Dr. Gillian Hanley, Dr. Anna Gottschlich, and Dr. Lily Proctor.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
