Our greatest wish would be that cancer didn’t hurt people; but until a cure is found and the phone stops ringing and there is no need for people requiring personal attention, CAShh will be here for them. Your continued support makes this happen! Your generosity is appreciated. Our needs continue to grow.

It is hard to believe but CAShh is now celebrating its 8th year of service to cancer patients in Halton Hills.

(We have experienced problems with our web site and are now in the process of bringing it up to date. Please check back as our problems are resolved. Some pages are not available at this time.)

Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills is different. Our first priority is to provide much needed practical assistance to patients and their families in Halton Hills. We saw a real need for help in our community. We truly believe research is necessary, and the Canadian Cancer Society and other organizations are doing their part to fight this dreaded disease. However, we are different in that our organization is assisting cancer patients and their families suffering with cancer now - those that need support and help immediately. We are able to provide local service second to none in our community.

Our more than 37 volunteer drivers provide transportation to treatment centres and this year will exceed 200,000 Km's. In addition, we provide practical & emotional support, equipment, wigs & turbans, dietary supplements, yoga & tai chi classes, respite & palliative care and home-related services, all at no charge to the patient. More than 800 patients have been assisted so far through our programs, and sadly that number increases each year. At this time we are currently assisting nearly 100 patients and their families.

Tax receipts issued for all donations in excess of $10.00 - except sale items

The 21st Anniversary of the Father's Day Car Show in support of Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills (CAShh) The biggest show yet!

^{We are very thankful to the
residents of Halton Hills, all our volunteers and sponsors, and
especially Anna Mae Moore, our campaign Chairman for making our
campaign a success. We did not reach our goal of $100,000, but came
close. You can still submit your donations to our office. A sincere
thanks to all.}

We sincerely wish to thank our sponsor "Foodstuffs" in Downtown Georgetown. If you have never been there, go visit as you will be amazed at what they have..."IN STORE" for you!

January 6th was a great day of hockey in Georgetown in benefit of CAShh. The arena was full, with many others wanting tickets at the door, Unfortunately we could not accommodate everyone as over 1,000 tickets had been sold in advance. We wish we had space to thank everyone that made this event such a huge success, but there is just not enough room to thank you all. However, we must give thanks to Halton Wood Carvers for initiating the event, and to the Maple Leaf Alumni & Celebrity All Stars & the Halton Silver Halos, and our refs that took some shots on the head during the player introduction! Especially all the wonderful volunteers that put it all together. Also the great community support. Hope to see you next year!

The 25th Anniversary Egg Nog Jog was a huge success. Over 500 runners participated in the event on Sunday December 9th, 2007, at the Terra Cotta Conservation Area.

COMING SOON ... CAShh CALENDAR

We are very fortunate in that a number of social/service groups, businesses and individuals hold events and other initiatives to raise much needed funds. To keep you informed about what's going on, or if you'd like to volunteer some time to help out, we're working on a calendar that will provide details about the event, contact info etc.

PLUS ... an Event Planning Guide!

Planning an event can be overwhelming - there are a lot of details to be taken care of! So we're putting together a simple guide to help you with the process. It'll tell you what we can do to help, what we can't do, budget sheets, media contacts and a host of tips to help make your CAShh event a success. Most importantly there will be a general info sheet for you to complete and return to us ... so we can put your event on our new calendar to help spread the word!

"All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don't discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others."

Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills is a community based organization of volunteers in Halton Hills to provide support and hope to cancer patients, families and friends.

Organization Profile

Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills became a reality in the fall of 2000 as a result of the closing of the Canadian Cancer Society office in Georgetown.

With the community behind us, and many donations, we were able to open our office right here in Georgetown. It is our goal to maintain high standards in patient care, offering support, dignity and hope.

This is where we are located at Mountainview Residence - just drive around to the rear of the building. Our sincere thanks to Chris and his family for their kind support.

We can be contacted as shown below, or drop into our office to say, "HELLO!"

Office hours: Monday to Friday 9 to 5 (Closed for lunch 12 to 1:15 p.m.)
