Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Prairies NWT
700 - 10665 Jasper Ave., Edmonton, Alberta T5J3S9
The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Prairies/NWT Region's roots go back to 1984 and the establishment of the Alberta Breast Cancer Foundation by Margaret Friedman, Dr. Morris Friedman, Dr. Patricia Burns, and Dr. Alvina Nett. They believed the diseases of the breast required a greater focus than they had been given up to that point, and their goal was to deal with all aspects of breast disease. They understood that an individual's survival depended not only on advances in medicine, but upon prevention, education and early detection.

Sistership Dragon Boat Association
100 Sheep River Drive, Unit 14, Okotoks, Alberta T1S1V3
Sistership was started in 1998 by a group of women from Calgary. Each one had experienced breast cancer and they set about forming the first dragon boat racing team in Alberta comprised of persons living with the disease. Their commitment to learn to paddle a dragon boat became a symbol of this group's quest to rebuild the health and confidence eroded by a cancer diagnosis. Belonging to this team meant uniting in a group effort toward a common goal and served to motivate and empower these members while reducing the loneliness of the cancer experience.
