Executive Summary
The South West Regional Cancer Program (RCP), through a collaborative partnership with Ontario Health, has developed it’s third South West Regional Indigenous Cancer Plan (RICP).
This Plan is designed to improve cancer service delivery for First Nations, Inuit, Métis and urban Indigenous people, and was collaboratively developed with Indigenous communities and organizations in the region. The Plan builds on the framework of the sixth Ontario Cancer Plan 2024-2028 (OCP 6); the fifth First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous Cancer Strategy 2024-2028 (Strategy 5); the vision, values and goals of the South West RCP; and most importantly, direction on cancer care priorities from Indigenous partners in the region. This provides the necessary foundation to develop a South West RICP with Indigenous people that is truly impactful, respectful and sustainable.
This document outlines the commitments of the South West RCP, aligns these with the strategic priorities detailed in Strategy 5, and identifies regional deliverables for the South West RICP. This document also outlines what impact these deliverables will have for Indigenous communities in the region. This information will be used to inform the implementation of the South West RICP, and will highlight areas of mutual support that will strengthen Ontario’s cancer services and improve the experience for Indigenous patients and families throughout all phases of the cancer journey.
