Survivor Conference

The Survivor Conference is the biggest reunion of young adult cancer patients/survivors and supporters in Canada, bringing together a group of people who “get it” to connect and learn things that can help you move forward or beyond the cancer experience. Through the Conference, we’ll give you information to help you regain some of the control you may have lost — or felt like you lost — while dealing with cancer.

Program Details

This year’s Survivor Conference has increased emphasis on peer connection and emotional health for our community. We will be providing psychoeducation on a holistic range of topics giving participants an opportunity to feel nourished mind, body, and spirit.

This is our first post-covid conference, so we are ushering in almost five years of new participants while also still supporting those in our community with long-term needs in survivorship or in managing chronic/relapsing cancers.

Testimonial from past guest

"I'm glad I joined because I feel like showing up for survivors is important and builds our community. Also, it reminded me of the great things I learned at Conference 2019 and added new things to my arsenal this year. I just think taking part this year was exactly what I needed." - Survivor Conference 2020: Virtual participant
