At Ovarian Cancer Canada, we reject the notion that ovarian cancer can’t be eradicated.

We are here to demand action, deliver change, and transform lives. We stand hand-in-hand with the people experiencing, affected by, or at risk of the disease. We will not rest until women are able to live their lives freely, fully, and uninhibited by ovarian cancer.

We are filling a gap, we need to be here – for those living with ovarian cancer today, and the 3,000 Canadians who will be diagnosed this year. Ovarian cancer has many different faces, and we are here for every one.

We are building research capacity, unlocking insights into rarer forms of the disease, addressing urgent needs, and bringing hope to people across the country. We are driving ovarian cancer research in Canada faster than ever – changing the landscape of available treatment options. After decades without real change, improved outcomes are finally possible.

Overview

Our vision is simple: Healthier Children. A Better World. We believe fighting for the health and wellbeing of children is one of the most powerful ways to improve society. Right now, quantum advancements in scientific knowledge and technology present an unprecedented opportunity for SickKids. To be ready for the next round, we need to update our infrastructure so we can unleash the full potential of SickKids expert team. We need to expand our reach, to extend our excellent standards of care to more children around the world. We need to elevate our research - it’s our best weapon in the fight against disease and congenital childhood conditions. And we must enrich the compassionate care we believe fosters the lifelong wellbeing of children and their families. It’s a massive challenge, but one that has to be met. So we’re actively inspiring communities and individuals to take up the fight by investing in our Hospital, its mission, and the health and scientific advances your gifts make possible. Our commitment to you: Staff and volunteers experience an engaging culture built on mutual respect, collaboration and a drive for excellence. We welcome and embrace individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and cultures. SickKids Foundation is committed to fostering an inclusive, accessible environment, where all individuals feel valued, respected and supported. Candidates requiring accommodation during the recruitment process are asked to please contact the Human Resources Department.
