Deaths by Cause in Canada*

As in past years, the most common cause of death in Canada continues to be cancer, followed by heart disease; these two leading causes account for 44 per cent of total deaths nationally. While incidents of trauma (accidents) are more common with younger age groups, older adults are more likely to succumb to cancer and/or heart and stroke complications.

The type of cancer varies by gender, with prostate cancer being the most common cause of death for men, while breast cancer tops the list for women. Lung and bronchus cancers are second, followed by colorectal, affecting both men and women equally.

Of the 326,779 deaths in Canada in 2024 (the most recent data compiled by Statistics Canada), the five top causes of death were:

1. Malignant neoplasms/cancer (85,589)
2. Diseases of the heart (57,982)
3. Accidents (20,415)
4. Cerebrovascular diseases/stroke (13,680)
5. Chronic lower respiratory diseases (13,202)

The Canadian Virtual Hospice
An Online Resource: Living with Advanced Illness, for Patients and their Families

Facing the imminent loss of a loved one is a difficult time for patients, family members and friends. Palliative care decisions are foreign to most of us and there are often many questions. What is the right course of action? What can I do to be supportive? What should I expect?

The Canadian Virtual Hospice was founded in 2004. With a goal to bridge gaps that exist in providing palliative care in Canada, this web-based platform offers online support and personalized information to address the specific needs of patients and their families.

A key feature of the Canadian Virtual Hospice is the “Ask a Professional” service where Canadians can submit a question in confidence and receive a personalized response from an interdisciplinary clinical team consisting of palliative care physicians, nurses, social workers, a First Nations elder, spiritual care practitioners, psychologists and a pharmacist… at no charge. By submitting a question, those seeking answers will receive evidence-based information specific to their circumstance.

The site also contains articles on a wide variety of topics including symptoms that are experienced, caregiving, communication, decision making and grief. It also has a gallery of 1500+ videos of caregivers who share personal stories and healthcare providers who provide expert guidance. There’s also a listing of recommended resources put together by the clinical team as well as a program and services listing to help users from across the country find local support.
