Support for People in Treatment and Recovery From Cancer
Indigenous program
Many people in our community have gone through cancer. It is hard, frightening, physically and emotionally challenging. Working in collaboration with the West Island Cancer and Wellness Centre we facilitate and support your access to supportive care during cancer treatment and for up to a year after treatment. The WICWC has a range of supportive therapies, training, nutritional, arts and physical rehabilitation courses and programs. Qavvivik is working with WICWC to adapt their programs to Inuit realities. Soon we hope to be offering interpretation services for the community as well. Please call or send us a message.
We welcome donations to help us acquire country food that can be shared amongst the people we serve. If you would like to donate, please reach out to us by phone or email.
These services are intended for Indigenous peoples
The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
