For individuals undergoing cancer treatment in British Columbia, the Canadian Cancer Society offers vital support through its Cancer Travel and Accommodation Services program. This program provides essential assistance that makes accessing care easier and more affordable.
Eligible patients may receive financial grants, air and ground transportation, and comfortable accommodations—all designed to ensure they receive the treatment they need without added stress.
Stay Comfortably with Them
The Canadian Cancer Society operates four lodges located near major cancer centers in Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George, and Kelowna. These lodges offer a FREE stay for cancer patients, including meals and complimentary transportation to and from treatment centers.
Additionally, if a patient requires a caregiver to accompany them, that caregiver can stay at the lodge for just $52.00 plus tax per day. This rate covers all meals, laundry services, parking, and transportation, allowing caregivers to travel alongside patients and remain together throughout the treatment journey.
For more information on how to access these invaluable services, please visit the Canadian Cancer Society’s website at cancer.ca/CTAAS or contact them directly at 1-888-939-3333 or email BCTravelFund@cancer.ca.
