A landmark study with a broad scope and strong,
rigorous design, the Canadian Partnership for
Tomorrow Project is establishing a large,
high-quality population laboratory. By following
300,000 Canadians for their adult lives, the
project hopes to answer some of cancer’s most
challenging questions, including “Why do some
people get cancer and other chronic diseases,
and others do not?” The project’s five regional
teams – in Alberta, Atlantic Canada, British
Columbia, Ontario and Quebec – aim to recruit
and track a total of 300,000 healthy Canadians
over decades. Participants provide information
about their health, lifestyle and environment.
The collection of baseline and ongoing data and
biological samples, such as urine and blood, and
physical measurements, such as weight and
height, will build a database and
bio-repository.
