The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre


To help realize the vision of the new The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre, the Calgary Cancer Project is partnering with patients, families, staff, physicians and the community throughout planning, design and construction phases.

We acknowledge that the city of Calgary and the new The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre exist on the traditional and ancestral territory of the Niitsitapi. We are grateful to live, work and play on these lands where the Blackfoot, Tsuut’ina, Stoney Nakoda and the Métis peoples have lived and cared for these lands for generations and we acknowledge the gifts provided by Elders and Knowledge Keepers. We recognize the First Nations, Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3 and the many urban First Nations, Métis and Inuit whose cancer care may be entrusted to those of us working in the current and new The Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre.. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory on which we live.

  • Calgary’s Cancer Centre launches fundraising campaign

    supporting image

    On Tuesday, October 5, 2021, an ambitious $250M fundraising campaign for the new Calgary Cancer Centre launched. Alberta Health Services, The University of Calgary, the Alberta Cancer Foundation are partnering to ensure we’re ready to make the most of this once-in-a-generation opportunity. The campaign, Own.Cancer, aims to help cancer patients take control of their diagnosis and treatment. The way we look at it – the more we own cancer, the less it owns us.

    The campaign team has already raised $70M towards their goal. On Tuesday evening, the Cancer Centre, among other landmarks in Calgary, were lit up to mark the start of this powerful campaign.

    Visit www.owncancer.ca for more details and check out the campaign ad.
