Toronto 's free sunscreen program is back this summer to provide free sun protection and raise awareness about sun safety.
The program makes available 50 free sunscreen dispensers at select parks along Toronto's waterfront and High Park.when the City of Toronto partnered with the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and the Douglas Wright Foundation to install free sunscreen dispensers at five parks by the lake. Since the launch, the dispensers have been used more than one million times and have dispensed over 1,000 litres of sunscreen.,"about one third of all new cases of cancer in Canada are skin cancers," and "one in 73 Canadian women will develop melanoma during their lifetime while one in 59 Canadian men will develop the disease."that estimates that 5.1 per cent men and four per cent women are likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in 2024.
So as you soak up the much-needed sunshine, don't forget to protect your skin from harmful UV rays to reduce your risk of skin cancer. The sunscreen provided in these dispensers — which can be found at Sugar Beach, Harbour Square Park, Toronto Music Garden and many other places — will be a mineral-based broad-spectrum SPF 30 variety and free from parabens and scents.
