The BC Generations Project is pleased to announce that we have recruited our 20,000th participant for Canada’s largest-ever cancer prevention study – Langley resident Bob Almasi. Bob visited our Abbotsford assessment centre on March 5, making him our milestone participant!
Like most of the people who join the BC Generations Project, Bob’s family has been touched by cancer. Bob’s father died of cancer when he was 17, and his older brother has non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
We would like to thank the generosity of Bob and the 19,999 other participants who are donating their time to help create a healthier future for our children and grandchildren. We hope to welcome many more thousands of people to the Project this year!
I received a letter in the mail concerning the project for Abbotsford B.C. this past spring……I dont know if Im too late, but I would like to participate also. If this is still possible , please let me know
Hi Maggie, although our Abbotsford Assessment Centre is now closed, you are still able to participate in the BC Generations Project. You have the option to do the “at home” version, where we will mail you a package that would include your consent and questionnaire. You can complete the package at home and mail it back to us. We also have an Assessment Centre currently running in the North Shore and a small clinic at the BC Cancer Research Centre. If you would like to come for a full assessment and donate blood and urine, please give us a call at 1-877-675-8221 or sign up on our website. Thanks so much for your interest. Regards, Eunice
