Media Centre

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is dedicated to reaching every Canadian affected by a brain tumour. One important way we do this is through awareness. The media is a major partner to help us share information about this devastating disease, promote our products and services, recruit volunteers and support fundraising events. 

We would be happy to offer our expertise and to share personal stories from the incredible people in your communities affected by brain tumours.

Please click on the links to your left for further information. To speak with someone directly, please contact Paul Mitchell, Community Relations Officer at 1-800-265-5106 ext. 232, or email PMitchell@braintumour.ca

Together we can imagine a cure.
