Providing care for others is not an easy task, but millions of Canadians do it every day.

Take this as a reminder to recognize the caregivers in your life and offer your support. Many are taking on this role while balancing multiple responsibilities. Caregiving can affect mental, physical, emotional, and financial well-being.

Encourage caregivers to also care for themselves and reach out for support when needed. 🫶

Our weight is shaped by more than what we eat or how much we move.

Genetics, sleep, stress, health conditions, and where we live and work all play a role in shaping what a healthy weight range looks like for each person. What the science shows is that maintaining a healthy weight over time can help lower the risk of several cancers.

Looking for information or support? Talk with a health care professional or call 811 to connect with a health service navigator who can help guide you.

Learn more about the science at bccancer.bc.ca/prevention/nutrition-exercise.

Did you know colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer? Screening can detect it before it develops, and before there are symptoms. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

If you're ages 50-74 talk to a health care provider about screening today.

Most people can screen with an easy at-home test (F***l Immunochemical Test or FIT).
