He has held a number of major national and international leadership roles over his career, including president and CEO of CancerCare Manitoba, CEO of the Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies, co-chair of the steering committee of the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (CSCC) and an initial director of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC). In these roles he effectively advocated for the establishment of a Canadian Partnership Against Cancer between the federal and provincial ministry partners.

Dr. Schacter played a key role in the Canadian Tumour Repository Network, which launched the Canadian Tumour Biobank Certification Program, standardized operating procedures and practices for biobanks, which have been adopted globally. He also played a leadership role in the development of a diploma program for a new Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada qualification in Adolescents and Young Adults Oncology.

The University of Manitoba is honoured to confer upon Dr. Brent Schacter the title of Professor Emeritus.
