Sprinkle kindness this Pink Shirt Day! 🩷

Bullying affects 1 in 5 students. That means it could be you, or someone you know.

If you’re not sure what to do, talk to someone you trust. You don’t have to handle it alone.

Small acts of kindness and compassion can make a big difference.

If you are being bullied, bullying someone else, or see a friend being bullied, help is available.

Our 2026 regional travel schedule is now live!
This year, due to mechanical issues, the Coach will be visiting larger hub communities so that cancer screening can continue safely and reliably.

What this means for you:
▪️Screening services on the Coach are unchanged
▪️Travel supports may be available to you, depending on where you're travelling from
▪️This is a temporary approach as plans for a new Coach are underway

We appreciate your patience as we work to keep screening closer to home for communities across the region.

To see the full 2026 travel schedule and get answers to questions you may have, visit tbrhsc.net/screenforlife. To book your screening for the coming months, call us at (807) 684-7777
