Staying Connected

​

Currently into it’s 3rd year, our Staying Connected program has been a great success. The goal is to introduce programming that will improve outcomes for those impacted by breast cancer in Kingston and the surrounding area, by providing opportunities to enhance social connection and networking with an eye to art and recreational therapeutic programming.

​

We host events most months that are fun and bring BCAK members together for an activity designed to create a supportive network and social connection that can benefit anyone within the breast cancer journey (newly diagnosed, in treatment, post treatment). Research has shown that social connections and art-based activities can improve outcomes for those with breast cancer, so it is important that we get connected!

​

Staying Connected is about having fun together, meeting new friends and getting together with current ones while creating a strong and supportive breast cancer community! So far members have participated in painting nights, bowling, creating centrepieces, attending local theatre events ...and the list continues! While most events are completely free to participants, from time to time we offer an extraordinary occasion and have to introduce a slight charge for participation. If covering the charge or getting to the activity is a challenge or you have young children who need care while you participate, let BCAK know and we will support you.
