Call out for Francophone Volunteers for Cancer Screening Initiative

Ontario Health is creating a new tool that will let people in Ontario see their cancer screening letters online. Materials are being developed to encourage people in Ontario to use this new online tool. Ontario health will run one-hour group interviews by videoconference with eight francophone volunteers to find out how to improve these materials. Volunteers who participate in a group interview and do not work for an Ontario public sector organization will get $30 as a thank you.

Ontario Health is looking for people who:

• Are 50 to 74 years old and live in Ontario
• Have access to a computer with a microphone, speakers and an Internet connection
• Speak English or French well enough to do an interview, and
• Have never worked in a health care environment in a professional capacity (e.g., business analyst, project manager, nurse, physiotherapist

Ontario Health especially welcomes people who:

• Do not often use online tools for their health needs
• Are newcomers to Canada
• Are from lower income households
• Identify as members of First Nations or Inuit communities
• Are members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities
• Are from northern, rural or remote communities
• Are members of racialized communities, or
• Have a disability or accessibility need
