Volunteer

Whether you’re passionate about supporting a local cause, making a difference in the lives of individuals, or spreading awareness, there’s a place for you here. When you volunteer at CCC you are part of a collective effort to make a meaningful impact and be part of positive change in your community.

In addition to the services offered through our programs, we also host various events ranging from fun family friendly walks/runs to The Giant Colon – a multimedia awareness exhibit. Our diverse volunteer opportunities allow you to: support patients, raise awareness, fund research and support, and advocate for early detection and better outcomes.

Volunteers are the heart of our organization, and we welcome individuals of all backgrounds and skill sets. Join us today and discover the transformative experience of contributing your time and skills to a cause that matters!

We extend a heartfelt thank you and commendation to our esteemed friend and dedicated volunteer, Robert Hamilton. Robert’s journey as a resilient colorectal cancer survivor, bravely confronting stage 3 rectal cancer, serves as an inspiration to us all. Persevering through the challenges of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and adjuvant chemotherapy treatments, he triumphed over his diagnosis. Celebrating a decade of cancer-free living, Robert generously shares his wisdom and support by leading a Colorectal Cancer Support group in Ottawa since 2018. We’re honored that Robert joined as a panelist at our 2024 CRC Community Conference. Thank you, Robert, for your unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions to our community!

We would like to express our utmost gratitude to Jen for her dedication to helping organize our events and her passion for spreading awareness of colorectal cancer. Jen, your passion and commitment inspire us all. We thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we provide hope and make strides towards a brighter, healthier future.

We would like to send a warm thank you to Sue – our June 2024 CCC Volunteer of the Month! Her vibrant energy lit up our Push For Your Tush event in Toronto, where she led the pre-race warm up and helped keep spirits high even as the weather didn’t cooperate. Thank you for dedicating your time and support to making Push For Your Tush Toronto a success!
