Important Information about CCMB Laboratory Services

A potential Dynacare work stoppage may begin Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Negotiations are ongoing, and we hope an agreement will be reached to avoid a disruption in services.

If a work stoppage occurs, CancerCare Manitoba will extend the hours of our Phlebotomy/Hematology Laboratory by two hours each day to help accommodate increased demand for bloodwork.

Extended hours:
7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday
Location:
CancerCare Manitoba
675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg
Phlebotomy/Hematology Laboratory, main floor

The extended hours will be available to CancerCare Manitoba patients who require bloodwork.
Patients should continue to attend scheduled appointments and complete bloodwork as directed by their health-care team. Please do not delay necessary bloodwork or care because of the potential Dynacare work stoppage.

We recognize that longer wait times may occur as laboratory services across Manitoba adjust to increased demand. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
We will provide additional information if there are changes to laboratory services or hours.

“I can’t change what happened to me. But I can use my story to help protect the next generation.”

At 31, Danisha was focused on raising her two young children and building her career. Cancer was the last thing on her mind.

She was about four years overdue for a CervixCheck when she noticed irregular bleeding.

“I knew it wasn’t normal for my body,” she says. “I booked an appointment with my family doctor.”

That decision changed her life.

After seeing a colposcopist, Danisha was referred to CancerCare Manitoba, where she was diagnosed with Stage 2B cervix cancer.

“I never imagined this would happen to me.”

Her diagnosis and treatment changed the way she thinks about cancer prevention, especially as a mother.

Today, Danisha is passionate about HPV vaccination and cervix cancer screening because she knows firsthand how much prevention matters.
“I have two young children, and I never want them to experience what I went through if it can be prevented.”

As families prepare for a new school year, it’s an important time for parents to learn about HPV vaccination and talk with their healthcare provider about whether their child is eligible.

HPV vaccination can help prevent the HPV infections that cause most cervix cancers, as well as several other HPV related cancers. Staying up to date with cervix cancer screening is another important step in prevention.

For Danisha, prevention is personal. Her hope is that by sharing her story, more families will have the information and tools they need to help prevent cancer before it starts.

What does cancer “love” or “hate” about what we eat?

The truth is, it’s not about one food making or preventing cancer. It’s about the eating patterns we build over time.

🥕 Eating more fruits, vegetables and fibre can help lower cancer risk.
🥓 Eating less processed meat, red meat and ultra-processed foods can also help.

You don’t have to change everything overnight. Small, realistic changes can add up over time.

Do you have to completely change your diet?

Cancer prevention isn't about never having a hot dog, a piece of cake or chips again. It's about being more mindful of what fuels our bodies most of the time.

Think of these foods as occasional or celebration foods, rather than everyday staples. Every positive change counts whether that's reaching for water instead of a sugary drink or choosing an apple instead of a bag of cookies.

As Dr. Donna Turner, Vice President and Chief, Population Oncology at CancerCare Manitoba, explains small, realistic changes can add up.
