NCCMT & CPAC Report on Physical Activity As a Preventive Measure Against Cancer

The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) has partnered with the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) to develop a report on physical activity as a preventive measure against cancer. This report has informed a new online resource released by CPAC: Physical activity and cancer in Canada – Policy actions to get people in Canada active (https://www.partnershipagainstcancer.ca/topics/physical-activity-policies/). This resource supports the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (https://www.partnershipagainstcancer.ca/cancer-strategy/) and investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical activity among youth and adults.

Read the NCCMT’s report on the findings (https://www.nccmt.ca/pdfs/res/physical-activity-cancer) and register for the upcoming webinar (https://www.partnershipagainstcancer.ca/news-events/event/cancer-prevention-webinar-series/) to learn about the effectiveness of policy-focused initiatives including active transportation, effective urban design, sport and recreation, school environments and public education.
