A SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY
Northwest is proud to support the Canadian Cancer Society in their fight against cancer.
The Canadian Cancer Society tells us, “Nearly half of Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives and 1 in 4 are expected to die.”
This statistic is heart-breaking, but it also shows us how far cancer research has come. In 1940, the overall cancer survival rate was around 25%. Today, the survival rate is 60%. As a society, we have achieved this amazing progress by investing in cancer control which encompasses prevention, early detection and treatment.
At Northwest, we understand the importance of preventative action. Just as getting screened for cancer can be a life-saving decision, regular safety checks can be a matter of life or death on the road. As a company, we have always put safety first. We would not deserve to be on the road otherwise.
For Northwest, it is about keeping families safe, and with cancer affecting fully one half of Canadian mothers, daughters, fathers and sons, supporting its prevention and treatment was simply a natural decision.
Through our partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society, we are helping to spread awareness, raise funds for research and support those in need.
