CancerCare Manitoba (CCMB) at 675 McDermot Avenue in Winnipeg is Manitoba's provincially mandated cancer and blood disorder treatment centre, serving both adult and pediatric patients across the province. CCMB provides a full continuum of specialized oncology care including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hematology, psychosocial support, clinical trials, and end-of-life care. This is not a general emergency department — patients experiencing a medical emergency should call 911 or proceed to Health Sciences Centre, located adjacent to this facility.
The main entrance to CancerCare Manitoba is at 675 McDermot Avenue, between Olivia Street and Pearl Street, with a drop-off/pick-up zone on the Olivia Street side. Two nearby paid parking options are available: the Manitoba Clinic Parkade at 790 Sherbrook Street (diagonally across from CCMB — pre-pay at pay stations inside the Manitoba Clinic or outside if the clinic is closed; licence plate number required), and the Health Sciences Centre Rehabilitation Parkade on McDermot Avenue between Olivia and Sherbrook Streets (enter from McDermot Avenue beside the CCMB loop; pre-pay at the pay station inside). Check the HSC website for current parking rates.
CancerCare Manitoba is located within the Health Sciences Centre precinct, a major Winnipeg Transit hub. The nearest bus stops are Southbound Sherbrook at Bannatyne (HSC) and Southbound Emily at McDermot (HSC), both approximately a 3-minute walk from the facility. Visit winnipeg.ca/transit for current route and schedule information.
All visits to CancerCare Manitoba are by appointment only, so your scheduled appointment time determines when you attend. Contact your care team to discuss scheduling if you have flexibility, as morning appointments early in the week may allow for shorter overall wait times in common areas.
Because visits are appointment-based, there are no general walk-in peak periods. However, the facility and adjacent parking areas can be busier mid-morning on weekdays. Allow extra time for parking on busy clinic days.
Emergency departments use triage — patients with more serious conditions are seen first, regardless of arrival time.
Wait times are estimates based on Manitoba health data using historical volumes, current patient counts, and staffing. Actual wait times may vary.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
