Thanks to the efforts of a B.C. lung cancer patient, the Province of British Columbia has once again proclaimed November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month. It is a symbolic but meaningful act of recognition for thousands of British Columbians who are living with lung cancer, as well as their loved ones and care providers.
Local governments also issue proclamations. It is usually a straightforward process detailed on the municipal website. Finding them once they’ve been proclaimed is sometimes the part! Try searching their site for “lung cancer” and “proclamation”. So far, we’ve found a handful of municipalities that have recognized November 2023 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Let us know in the comments if you know of any others!
