Listen to the most recent episode of the Cancer Assist Podcast — Changing the Conversation Around Death, Dying & Grief What does it mean to live well until the end of life? And how can we better support those facing serious illness, grief, and loss? In this episode of the Cancer Assist Podcast, Dr. Bill Evans welcomes Dr. Erin Gallagher, a family physician, palliative care specialist, and advocate for Compassionate Hamilton, an initiative working to change how our community approaches death, dying, and bereavement. Dr. Gallagher also shares how Compassionate Hamilton is bringing local organizations and resources together, breaking down barriers to support, and encouraging more open conversations about death and dying. Whether you’re caring for a loved one, navigating a serious illness, or simply looking to better support those around you, this conversation is a reminder that no one should have to face life’s most difficult moments alone.

We were happy to attend the 2026 Life After Breast Cancer Conference and connect with so many people affected by breast cancer, along with their families, friends and caregivers! It was a great opportunity to chat with attendees about CAP, our programs and services, and the ways we support people navigating a breast cancer journey. Through inspiring speakers, informative workshops and community resources, the conference offered a day of learning, connection and support. by @cancer_assist

Laurie Fernandez says volunteering as a CAP Event Volunteer helps her feel much more connected to the community. "When I volunteered in schools previously, my focus was localized, but now I feel like I'm contributing to a broader community and helping support people's dignity on a larger scale." By contributing their time and energy to CAP, volunteers are able to spend their days in a rewarding manner. They work as part of an incredible team of people who are busy making a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by cancer. Whatever your interests are, we have a place for you!

Thank you so much for welcoming us and for all you do in support of CAP! Repost: @sweet_expressions_binbrook What an amazing night. I am so grateful to have been here tonight. I was so nervous about how this would go but the moment the night began….women, sitting in a circle, sharing their our journey or the journey of their loved one, it was magical. Bonding over something that tried to beat us and were blessed to have won, helping with advice or pulling from our personal experiences to help those who are about to start treatment. Thank you @amanda_rahija and sarah_marie_z for sharing your personal stories and thank you to Julie from the bright run and Anja from CAP for coming and discussing what your organizations do to help breast cancer patients. by @cancer_assist
