Indigenous Cancer Strategy

Since 2004, multi-year provincial Indigenous cancer strategies have addressed and led to improvements in cancer care for Indigenous people in Ontario. The First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous Cancer Strategy 2019 – 2023 continues the work set out in the first 3 strategies.

This strategy provides a road map for how Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario), Indigenous communities and individuals, and health system partners will work together to:

  • Improve the performance of the cancer system for Indigenous people in Ontario in a way that honours Indigenous concepts of well-being
  • Improve the well-being of Indigenous people in Ontario and reduce the burden of cancer in these communities
  • Empower supportive and healthy environments that build on the strengths of Indigenous individuals, families, communities and organizations
