#FactFriday

‌ 3-6

This year for International Women's Day, we made a goal to #ChooseToChallenge misinformation online.

In line with this goal, we've launched a new social media campaign. Every Friday on our Instagram we are promoting evidence-based health information in plain language, with a call for our audience to share our post with their own networks.

This Friday, May 7th we'll be sharing a post in line with Ovarian Cancer Awareness Day, created in collaboration with the Gynecologic Cancer Initiative. We encourage you to share our post to your own Instagram stories (and to check out our previous posts)!

If you have an idea for a #FactFriday post, email us at whri.communications@cw.bc.ca.
