PART TIME: 10 – 15 HOURS PER MONTH 
STARTING SEPTEMBER 2, 2025 – APRIL 30, 2026 
 
SUMMARY 
Wellspring London and Region has recently partnered with the Southwest Regional Cancer

how we can better serve Indigenous populations across our region. Wellspring’s geographical

There are also urban Indigenous, Metis and Inuit peoples living within the Southwest region that 
will be included in this study. Our larger aim for this project is to better understand individual 
communities with regards to their cancer care experience and help identify gaps in services and 
supportive programming that may be a fit for future collaborations with Wellspring London and 
Region.

affected by a cancer diagnosis and their immediate caregivers, with no cost programs and services.

communities throughout Southwestern Ontario (estimated 4 – 6 visits throughout the 8 month

DESCRIPTION 
Wellspring London and Region provides no-cost programs, support services and resources in a

opportunities to collect valuable data; surveys, group in-person interviews, wellness 
days, conferences, one on one meetings, Zoom interview. 

 • Develop contact lists to be shared with Wellspring and SWRCP for each of the ten First 
Nations communities to ensure future communications and follow up 

 • Work specifically with cancer survivors, caregivers and healthcare professionals from 
each of the First Nations communities to gather information required for research and 
future and compile this information into a final report by April 2026 (goal is for 40 – 50 
interviews in total across 10 First Nations communities) 

 • Generate monthly reports as needed for analysis 
 • Provide information for social media and poster creations if deemed appropriate 
 • Help with ongoing evaluations and surveys 
 • Regular check-in meetings with Wellspring and SWRCP
