About HPV

The Federation of Medical Women of Canada is the founding organization behind the world’s first HPV Prevention Week. With the support of numerous organizations and individuals, we are committed to preventing the spread of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and the cancers it can cause.

HPV Awareness spreads knowledge about the human papillomavirus, the vaccines, screening, and HPV-related cancers that include cancers of the head and neck, tongue, throat, anus, cervix, vulva, vagina and penis and general sexual health. Our organization empowers Canadians to have healthier relationships.

Young Adult Cancer Canada was established in 2000 by Geoff Eaton after his first cancer challenge. Geoff’s vision focused on educating and supporting young adults. At the core of that vision was the belief that cancer–like all of life’s challenges–brings with it valuable lessons and experiences.
