Melanoma Canada’s Mole Mobile Offering Free Skin Cancer Screenings This Sunday

Melanoma Canada’s Mole Mobile is stopping in Peterborough to give free skin cancer screenings at Sobeys (Lansdowne location) this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Melonoma Canada recommended that people RSVP before coming but it does not guarantee a spot. Individuals will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. All appointments are walk-in only according to their website.

Each year, roughly 89,000 Canadians are diagnosed with melanoma and skin cancer. Survival rates are high if detected early. Unlike other cancers, it is often clearly visible on the skin according to Melonoma Canada.

The Mole Mobile typically visits major Canadian cities with long wait times to see a dermatologist, underserved communities, rural areas and Indigenous regions to help speed up the time to diagnosis.
