Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC)

The pan-Canadian Cancer Data Strategy was developed to improve the collection, integration, and use of cancer data.

The cancer data strategy also expands on the imperative to address cancer data noted in the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control and supports efforts to respect and uphold First Nations, Inuit and Métis data sovereignty.

DDP designed graphics and infographics for the Indigenous sections of the Pan-Canadian Cancer Data Strategy Report.

DDP designed five icons to illustrate the CPAC’s framework for their Pan-Canadian Cancer Data Strategy. The full page illustration features a snowy sky of pie charts, to illustrate how that data represents groups of people. Each figure from all three Indigenous groups are holding their own piece of their pie chart to signify data sovereignty and their governance and ownership over this data.

To support CPAC’s social media communications, DDP also created Canva templates using the illustrations across Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

The custom illustrations effectively convey complex messages tailored to the target audience, enhancing engagement and communication.

Data sovereignty and governance are crucial because they ensure that data is managed, accessed, and protected according to the laws and regulations of the country where it is collected, thereby safeguarding privacy rights.
