Hope Lives Here

HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre is a place of comfort, compassion, and connection for anyone affected by cancer. As a non-profit organization, HopeSpring is dedicated to walking alongside individuals at every stage of the cancer journey — from diagnosis to survivorship and beyond — offering cancer care support to patients, caregivers, and families. 

While we are proudly based in Kitchener, Ontario, our programs and services are available to anyone who is affected by cancer. Through free, confidential programs like support groups, cancer care counselling, wellness classes, relaxation therapies, wigs and post mastectomy camisoles, workshops, and access to valuable resources, HopeSpring empowers people to navigate cancer with hope, strength and dignity. 

At HopeSpring, no one faces cancer alone. Our motto says it all: Every Cancer. Every Stage. For Everyone. 

Understanding the Impact of Cancer in Our Community

It is estimated that about 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime. Lung and bronchus (lung), breast, prostate and colorectal cancers account for almost half of all new cancer cases diagnosed.*

Cancer remains by far the leading cause of death in Canada.*

Hope When It’s Needed Most

In recent years, there have been significant decreases in incidence and deaths rates for lung and colorectal cancers and generally more people are survivors and living longer past the initial diagnosis.*

 As result, the need for organizations like HopeSpring is more significant than ever before. Support is offered over and above that of which is available in the hospital environment; our medical partners rely on us to provide this much-needed support for their patients.

Our Mission

At HopeSpring, we are dedicated to empowering individuals affected by cancer to enhance their emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. We are committed to providing support and resources that help people affected by cancer feel empowered and more in control of their lives, and we strive to achieve this by fostering a caring and compassionate community that promotes holistic wellness.

About HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre

At HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre, we assist individuals coping with the emotional strain that accompanies the cancer journey. Our programs are centred around the four pillars of wellness - exercise, nutrition, stress management, and sleep - and aim to help cancer patients and their loved ones find the necessary support to navigate the physical, and emotional challenges that come with the disease.

While local hospitals handle the medical aspects of cancer treatment, we offer a warm and inviting environment where individuals affected by cancer can focus on managing their mental and emotional well-being through our wellness programs. Our services are offered free of charge, recognizing the significant financial impact that cancer can have on individuals and their families.
