Colorectal Screening

Find it early. Prevent it. Treat it.

If you’re 50 to 74 years old, it’s a good idea to consider regular colorectal cancer screening. Getting screened is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself against colorectal cancer.

Update: December 17, 2024: Delivery of FIT kit screening tests and result letters may be delayed due to the backlog from the Canada Post strike. Please follow-up with your healthcare provider if you have any questions regarding your recent test.
