Our Miners for Cancer Executive Board has made the very sad but right decision to cancel the Miners for Cancer 2020 Christmas Gala scheduled to take place in December as well as our Miners for Cancer Allan Epps Memorial Hockey Tournament that was scheduled to take place in January 2021. As our past participants can confirm for us - it is impossible to host either event while maintaining physical distancing guidelines. During these unprecedented times it is imperative we all... do our part to keep our community and the most vulnerable SAFE and HEALTHY. We want to thank everyone for the continuous support and we look forward to sharing exciting news regarding future fundraising events that can take place while ensuring we protect our supporters. Take care - and stay safe! -Wayne & Mandy

After much discussion, our Miners for Cancer Executive Board has made the very sad but right decision to cancel the Miners for Cancer 2020 Golf Tournament that was scheduled to take place in July. As our past participants can confirm for us - it is impossible to host this event while maintaining physical distancing given the number of players and the requirement for the Clubhouse and Pavilion. We want to thank everyone for the continuous support and we look forward to host...ing the golf tournament once again at Timberwolf on July 22, 2021. Take care - and stay safe! -Mandy

Miners for Cancer is thrilled to share that they have made a $100,000 donation towards the Northern Cancer Foundation’s COVID-19 Support Fund. These funds will go towards the purchase of 58 new and very vital Infusion System + Full IV-EHR Interoperability pumps needed on the frontline to provide quality cancer patient treatment to our community’s most vulnerable patients. These pumps are primarily used in the cancer center to safely and efficiently deliver IV fluids, blood i...nfusions, and drug therapies to patients receiving cancer treatment, said Tannys Laughren, Executive Director, Northern Cancer Foundation. Our current pumps were at end of life and we desperately needed them to meet the Northeast Cancer Centre needs even more so now in the current COVID-19 crisis. Achieving clinical excellence takes a pump that enables it and these new pumps will provide just that by reducing therapy interruptions as well as the risk of contamination, added Laughren. We can’t thank the Miners for Cancer team enough for showing up once again when we needed help the most. With this, the Miners for Cancer team would also like to take the opportunity to thank and recognize all Health Sciences North (HSN) frontline workers. We would like to express our sincerest appreciation for all HSN frontline workers, said Wayne Tonelli, President of Miners for Cancer. From the nurses, to the doctors, and all the support staff - your commitment and courage to taking care of our community is truly extraordinary and without you we would be lost.
