Abstract
This documentary introduces us to Stephen Jenkinson, once the leader of a palliative care counselling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital. Through his daytime job, he has been at the deathbed of well over 1,000 people. What he sees over and over, he says, is "a wretched anxiety and an existential terror" even when there is no pain. Indicting the practice of palliative care itself, he has made it his life's mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into an essential part of life. - Website

Abstract
This report presents findings from an environmental scan that was conducted as part of a larger Survivorship Project by the Rebalance Focus Action Group of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. The Survivorship Project aims to move a national cancer survivorship agenda in Canada forward in the coming years. The scan consisted of both a literature search as well as individual interviews with 47 key informants with a threefold purpose to:
(1) Explore the nature of and extent to which cancer survivorship conceptualization, research and practice is undertaken in Canada
(2) Identify some of the key Canadian contributors to cancer survivorship undertakings
(3) Identify resources from the literature that may prove useful in future cancer survivorship efforts in Canada
