CanPath at CCRC 2025: Connection, collaboration, and cancer research across Canada

Posted on by pathwp

More than 1,300 people came together in Calgary for the Canadian Cancer Research Conference (CCRC) 2025, creating an inspiring atmosphere of ideas, energy, and community. For CanPath and our regional cohorts, the meeting is one of the few times each year when our pan-Canadian team gathers in person to learn from one another, support our colleagues, and reflect on the collective impact we’re making on cancer research across the country. This year’s conference highlighted just how interconnected our work has become. From poster sessions and oral presentations to hallway conversations and hands-on training, CanPath-supported research was visible across disciplines, regions, and career stages.

This year’s World Health Organization World Diabetes Day “recognizes that every person living with diabetes should have access to integrated care, supportive environments and policies that promote health, dignity and self-management. This campaign emphasizes the importance of a life-course approach to diabetes prevention, management and overall well-being.  World Diabetes Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes as a critical global public health issue. Join us in raising awareness, spreading knowledge and creating lasting change for all affected by diabetes.” Data and biological samples provided by Atlantic PATH participants are being used in important diabetes research, including work by Dr. Roger McLeod and Dr. Vanessa DeClercq. Their research explored the relationship between adiponectin and apoB in participants with a history of diabetes in the Atlantic PATH cohort. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4oiwlks

The HEAL and CHARM studies bring together an incredible team of researchers, coordinators, and collaborators from across Canada, all working to better understand how our diet, activity, and environments shape health and equity. The HEAL (HEALthy Eating and Supportive Environments) study is the  largest study on diet and physical activity in Canada! Atlantic PATH participants will receive an invitation to join the HEAL study, and what you share will help researchers understand how we eat, move, and live, leaving a legacy that will guide future health research, programs, and policies across Canada. Your participation matters. Each response helps build a foundation for healthier communities — now and for generations to come.  Team members answered “What aspects of the HEAL and CHARM studies are currently the most exciting or rewarding for you to work on?” Here’s what they had to say. https://canpath.ca/2025/11/meet-the-heal-and-charm-teams/ Last Updated on November 13, 2025
