A Cancer Prevention Forum with keynote speaker Elizabeth May, Executive Director, Sierra Club of Canada will be held Tuesday, November 16 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at CAW Local 222 Union Hall, 1425 Phillip Murray Ave., Oshawa (905- 723-1187).

The Canadian Cancer Society has predicted for several several years that by 2010 cancer will surpass heart disease as the leading cause of death in Canada. Much of this tragedy is avoidable. Cancer experts say over 50 per cent of all cancers cancers can be prevented with knowledge we now have. Aside from not smoking and exercising regularly--two keys to preventing cancer-- there are many ways to eliminate eliminate cancer-causing hazards from our working and living' environments. Despite this huge opportunity to reduce cancer incidence and death rates, less than,six per cent of annual cancer budgets are targeted targeted for prevention.
