"The Campaign to Control Cancer (C2CC) is bringing "The People vs. Cancer" - Ontario Speaking Tour with Stephen Lewis to five Ontario universities thanks to the support of our sponsor the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Ontario Region.

Students, faculty, staff, members of the community and elected officials, are invited to participate and hear Stephen Lewis bring a global health activist point of view to the challenge of engaging Canadian universities and students in shaping and supporting a new response to controlling cancer.

Mr. Lewis will be speaking on the transformational role that an engaged public can play and the social action process that promotes the participation of everyday people in gaining control over their lives and wellbeing, drawing on ?lessons learned? in the global movement against HIV/AIDS. Canadian universities and students will be challenged to bring forward their skills, innovation, creativity and leadership to the challenge of significantly reducing cancer rates in one generation. He will also be advancing the C2CC campaign effort to have cancer control included in discussions at the G8/G20 meetings to be hosted by Prime Minister Harper in June 2010 in Toronto.

At the Global Leadership Forum for Cancer Control, held last year in Ottawa, Mr. Lewis brought forward the idea that cancer control as a global social movement was on the ?threshold of an amazing campaign.?
