Town council is scheduled to receive a presentation by Anthony Kadikoff of the Northern Cancer Research Foundation during its regular meeting tonight.
Kadikoff, who recently was appointed to the Foundation’s board of directors, will inform council on the “education and awareness, research and patient care” it is involved in.
In a letter to request he be able to make a presentation to council tonight, Kadikoff noted he’ll also explain the Foundation’s “role in promoting cancer care and the future care in years to come in treating patients in the region with leading technology in Northwestern Ontario, equal, if not better, to any place in North America, at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.”
