SUMMARY:Colorectal Cancer Canada - Day on the Hill
DESCRIPTION:This March\, we March.\nWe are calling on our entire community to join us on Parliament Hill on March 10 to deliver a single\, undeniable message to our legislators: 50 is too late. \nWhile other nations have already lowered the colorectal cancer screening age to 45\, Canada is lagging behind. That 5-year gap represents thousands of diagnoses\, thousands of families\, and thousands of lives. \nWe are going to Ottawa to close that gap. \nTHE PLAN: We will gather as one voice with one message: earlier screening saves lives. We will create a “Blue Wave” on the Hill—survivors\, caregivers\, and supporters standing shoulder-to-shoulder to demand the change our community deserves. To ensure this visual is impossible to ignore\, we ask that you please come dressed in blue. \n\nWHEN: March 10\, 2026 at 11:00am\nWHERE: Parliament Hill\, Ottawa – Centennial Flame.\nWHY: To lower the screening age to 45.\n\nWe will provide the signs and Blue Toques to top off your blue attire and keep you warm; we just need you to bring your voice and your presence. Whether you are walking for yourself\, for a loved one\, or for the future of healthcare in Canada\, your presence sends a powerful signal that politicians cannot ignore. \nLet’s make sure they hear us loud and clear. \nThis March\, we March. \nWith gratitude and determination\, \nThe Colorectal Cancer Canada Team
