A bit about us
LLSC is a registered Canadian non-profit, which while affiliated with the US-based Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), remains a separate Canadian entity. LLSC is the largest voluntary health organization focused on funding Canadian research and supporting Canadians in need, as they go through their cancer experience. Our mission is to cure blood cancer and improve quality of life for those affected.
In the last fiscal year, LLSC invested over $5 million dollars into the work of 37 blood cancer researchers across Canada, supported 4,000 people affected by blood cancer through outreach and engaged more than 7,300 people through educational events – see more of our impact.
Our core values
Servant Leadership
We put our community first, our leadership style is grounded in the sharing of power for the growth and well-being of our people and the blood cancer community.
Shared Achievement
We believe success is a team sport. We care about results, but more importantly, we care about how those results are achieved.
Lifelong Learning
We see learning as more than professional development, but as a mindset and philosophy to help us constantly adapt, change and excel.
Freedom Responsibility
We trust our team. We embrace the freedom of employees to work non-traditional hours if needed, to work from home and exercise creativity in career goals and development.
Authenticity
We celebrate character and genuineness. We expect, respect and welcome different opinions, modes of expression and diversity.
