Mother's Day March by Breast Cancer Action Montreal/Action Cancer du Sein de Montreal
This week, in a continuing effort to provide Alternatives to Pink, join with Breast Cancer Action Montreal to demand our government take a safety first approach by applying the Precautionary Principal to the management of environmental toxins linked to Breast cancer.
Tell our officials that you are concerned about your family’s health in the face of hazardous chemicals present in our home and body care products. Ask them to consider vulnerable populations like children, blue-collar workers, pregnant women and indigenous populations. DEMAND, that known, suspected or potential carcinogens be designated “toxic” under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, CEPA 1999. Steps must also be taken to ban the use and importation of toxic substances, in all forms, including products containing carcinogens. The same policy holds for substances that are known or suspected genotoxins, mutagens, reproductive and developmental toxins.
Breast Cancer Action Montreal (BCAM) is a non-profit group that advocates for a serious search for the causes of the disease and its prevention.
