Princess Margaret Cancer Classes

​​​ A wide range of free classes for patients and family are run at Princess Margaret. These classes offer support and guidance at diagnosis, during treatment and after treatment. Classes are for patients, friends and families.

Note: Many i​n-person patient education classes and events at Princess Margaret are not being offered at this time. Many classes are available online. Having classes online means you do not have to come to the hospital just to attend a class.

There are two types of online classes that you can take at this time: live instructor-led classes, and self-directed classes that you complete at your own pace. For all online classes, you will need a device with internet (like a computer, smartphone or tablet).
