ARCC Contest

* As of January 2019, Cancer Care Ontario's Aboriginal Cancer Control Unit has been renamed The Indigenous Cancer Control Unit (ICCU). With this change, we will join the ranks of many individuals, groups, organizations, universities and governments who have chosen to use the term Indigenous. At this time, the courses and the contest will continue to be named the Aboriginal Relationship and Cultural Competency (ARCC) courses.*

Contest Information

Welcome! The Central East Regional Cancer Program has created a contest to help all health care teams across the Central East Region strengthen their cultural competency and understanding of First Nation, Inuit and Métis history to improve patient outcomes. We encourage staff working in hospitals, primary care, agencies, hospices, and all other health care environments in the Central East Region to enter the contest.
