There is a new building going up ... and it will be a home-away-from-home for the thousands of cancer patients and their families in our community.
Each time I drive by the construction site I am reminded of the impact we are having in this community. With the MAPLESOFT Centre we are going to be filling a gap for cancer patients - by offering them one place where they can go to get the support they need and deserve while they are facing the disease. I am proud to tell you that we have already begun to pilot a number of programs that will be offered at the house once we open the doors in Fall 2011, and we'll continue to expand the list each month. I encourage you to read about the FREE programs we are offereing, and register for them. All the information can be found online at www.ottawacancer.ca/registration.aspx.
The MAPLESOFT Centre is a great source of pride for all of us at the Cancer Foundation - and in honour of that I wanted to share with you some pictures from the construction site. (photos: Courtesy Valberg Imaging)
