97.3 the Wave is extremely proud to partner with many non-profits and charitable organizations that make a difference in our community! We’re shining a spotlight on these organizations to share how they’re continuing to help our community through the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as how we can help support them.

A message from the Canadian Cancer Society:

“Cancer doesn’t care that there is a health crisis in this country. Every day, including each day of this pandemic, 565 Canadians will hear the words, “you have cancer”. As impacts of the virus are felt across the country, our mission – to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of people living with cancer – cannot afford to slow down.

 

The Canadian Cancer Society want to assure you that the health of Canadians is our priority. We understand how critically important it is to contain coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, because the people we represent are at heightened risk. Their care and well-being are being impacted by the virus and our highest priority is to support them, be good citizens and minimize the impact and duration of the pandemic.

 

It is because of your support that we can continue to support Canadians affected by cancer during this time of increased health concern when people may be staying closer to home or dealing with feelings of anxiety or isolation. Your help has allowed us to ensure access to information and support for cancer patients across greater Saint John and in our Province during this most challenging time.”
