Goodbye Pap Hello Swab

Please Note: Canada Post services have returned but mailed reminder letters, result letters and cervix self-screening kits will be delayed as mail delivery returns to normal. 

Cervix Screening reminder and result letters can be found on Health Gateway.

Please wait until January to mail your completed cervix self-screening sample through Canada Post. While postal services are delayed, you can drop off a completed Cervix Self-Screening kit (put everything inside the return envelope that is provided: device sealed inside plastic bag, and lab requisition) at lab locations throughout the province. 


There’s a new way to screen for cervical cancer that can be done wherever you feel safe and comfortable, such as in your home or at a health care provider’s office. Cervix self-screening is an alternative to the Pap for routine cervical cancer screening.

If you don’t want to do cervix self-screening, you can still choose to have a Pap test. Talk to a health care provider to discuss cervix screening options and when to screen.

Cervix screening is recommended for anyone with a cervix, including women and TTGD (Two-Spirit, transgender and gender diverse) people, between the ages of 25 and 69.
