Taking Action Against Colorectal Cancer: Observing Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about colorectal cancer, its risk factors, prevention strategies, and the importance of early detection.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in Canada, with thousands of new cases diagnosed each year. This type of cancer affects the colon or rectum and can develop slowly over many years, often starting as precancerous polyps.
By educating the public about risk factors, symptoms, and screening options, we can help reduce the burden of colorectal cancer and save lives.

Important Update: BC Cancer Breast Screening Notices
Effective April 1, 2026, BC Cancer Breast Screening will update how screening results are communicated to patients.
Letters will only be mailed to patients if follow-up or further action is required. Normal screening results that do not require follow-up will no longer be automatically sent by mail. Reminder letters will continue to be mailed when patients are due for screening or when follow-up is needed.
Patients can still access all breast screening results, including normal results, through the following options:
- Online via Health Gateway
- By contacting their health care provider
- By calling the Breast Screening Services Centre at 1-800-663-9203
For more information, refer to BC Cancer Screening’s Common Reminder and Result Notices Resource for an overview of notices issued to patients and health care providers across all four cancer screening programs.
