Sun Safety

Sun Safety

Skin cancer is the most common and preventable cancer in Canada.  Like other cancers, healthy choices and screening can prevent or reduce your risk.  Yet, the people that live in Simcoe Muskoka have, since 1994, had double the rate of malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer) than the rest of Ontario. How can we help?

The health unit works with communities to help prevent the risks related to ultraviolet radiation including exposure to the sun and indoor tanning.
