Screening Programs

The purpose of a screening program is to apply a relatively simple, inexpensive test to a large number of people in order to identify those with risk factors for cancer or who are in its early stages. Screens are used for the types of cancers that when detected early can reduce deaths.

Community Grants Fund 

The BC Cancer Agency’s Cervical Cancer Screening Program and Screening Mammography Program have a Community Grants Fund.

The purpose of the grant is to fund opportunities that encourage and support efforts to increase participation in cervical and breast cancer screening in communities throughout our province.

Seed grants support local and regional groups to undertake activities and processes that integrate cancer screening into everyday thinking and practice in their communities. These seed grants are one-time-only funding opportunities.

Grant proposals are accepted in January and June.

For full information, please see the overview and application.
