Wellspring Niagara is a warm and welcoming centre that offers a variety of supportive care programs, at no cost, for cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers.
Centrally located to serve the Niagara region, Wellspring Niagara offers programs on both a drop-in and registered basis, for men, women and children with any type of cancer and at any stage in the cancer journey.
Wellspring is also an amazing place for so many who do not have a support system or benefits to cover rehabilitation after their treatment. They have art therapy, cancer nutrition classes, a wig room, an extensive library and an amazing children’s room.
The work they do there is instrumental to and this event always allows Wellspring more funding for their amazing programs.

About Wellspring Niagara
Wellspring Niagara first opened its doors in June 2001 with a mission to provide free social, emotional, psychological, informational and spiritual support to individuals living with cancer, their families and close supporters.
Wellspring Niagara fulfills the dream of Aldo Mantini, who lost his life to cancer at age 31. Aldo had inspired many in his community to work together to bring the type of supportive care offered by Wellspring to Niagara. Today the centre offers a wide range of programs to men, women and children living through the Niagara region.
As a not-for-profit, charitable organization, Wellspring Niagara relies solely on the financial support of the community it serves, the Niagara region.
