The campaign includes two 30-second television commercials that will air in 21 languages. The two print ads will also run in 21 languages. A new website has been constructed at ColonCancerCheck.ca. Online advertising will run on news-related websites. In addition, posters and brochures will be displayed in doctors' offices, pharmacies and nursing facilities.
