First Nations Inuit Métis (FNIM) Program Resources

Our aim is to improve cancer care for Ontario’s First Nations, Métis and Inuit people (FNIM) and ensure that they have access to quality cancer information (across the cancer care continuum) that incorporates a holistic approach.

We have developed a core set of communication materials to support the FNIM communities in Ontario. This page contains a host of resources and information to assist communities in educational efforts. 

On this page you will find materials regarding:

  • Cancer Strategy
  • What is Cancer
  • Prevention
  • Cancer Screening
  • Tools for the Journey
