Bruce Power, suppliers donate $20,000 to Childcan to help families affected by childhood cancer

Bruce Power and its supplier partners have donated $20,000 to Childcan to help families affected by childhood cancer.

Childcan’s mission is to make childhood cancer a health-care priority. Funding is used to ensure Bruce, Grey and Huron county children affected with cancer, and their families, receive critical care while helping to eliminate some of the financial and logistical burden incurred along the way.

“Together, with our suppliers, we are proud to support Childcan’s efforts to provide assistance to children battling cancer and their families across the region,” said Maggie Tieman, director of community and external affairs. “By investing in programs that deliver logistical and financial support, we’re helping ensure that families can focus on what matters most – the health and well-being of their children.”

“We are full of gratitude for the difference Bruce Power and its supplier partners make in the lives of families from Saugeen Ojibway Nation territory and Bruce, Grey, and Huron counties who are facing the challenges of childhood cancer,” said Suzanne Fratschko Elliott, executive director at Childcan. “Many of these families receive care at Children’s Hospital in London, and thanks to the generosity of Bruce Power and its supplier partners, Childcan can walk alongside them, helping to ease the financial, emotional, and social burdens of a childhood cancer diagnosis.”

Bruce Power’s Supplier Sponsorship Program aligns the company’s vendor partners with local, provincial and national non-profit organizations that focus on health and wellness organizations, Canadian veterans, food banks, and hospital foundations. Thanks to the ongoing generosity of our partners, the program donated a record $765,000 in 2025.

Since 1974, Childcan has been raising awareness and funds to provide personalized, responsive, and compassionate emotional, financial, and social support programs and services to families facing the childhood cancer journey from diagnosis, through treatment, post-treatment care, or bereavement.

The organization also funds innovative research at Children’s Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre, and at the University of Windsor, and has a vision to make childhood cancer a health priority and expand family supports until childhood cancer is eliminated. Learn more at www.childcan.com
