OPACC - Ontario Parents Advocating for Children with Cancer

Ontario Parents Advocating for Children with Cancer (OPACC) is a registered charity whose overall goal is to be the parent voice for families with children diagnosed with cancer across the Province of Ontario. We provide support to childhood cancer families in hospital through our signature Parent Liaison program, in the community through our network of local parent support groups, and by advocating on issues of importance to childhood cancer families, including: E.I. legislation for benefits to Parents of Critically Ill Children, reduced hospital parking rates, representation for childhood cancer survivors, supporting the educational needs of children with cancer, childhood cancer awareness, and more! OPACC is an independent registered charity; while we often partner with other organizations to provide services to our families, our programs are managed separately. OPACC receives no government funding and all funding for the development of our programs, services and special events (which are provided at no cost to our families) comes from the donations of generous organizations, businesses, foundations, and individuals.
