I’ve not seen cooperation among local media, nor within the public, to that degree since. Local media, led by the Kamloops Daily News, began a blitz to mobilize public support. Kamloops weighed in with an energetic campaign to keep the city in the running. After beating Social Credit in that election, it took little time for him to start backing down.Īn independent consultant, hired by the Socred government earlier that year, filed a report after the election favoring Kelowna as the site in the southern Interior. There was much debate about population size and geography, leading up to what we refer to in these parts as Mike Harcourt’s “broken promise.” Approaching election day in 1991, then-NDP leader Harcourt promised that Kelowna, Prince George and Kamloops would all get full-service cancer clinics. The battle between Kamloops and Kelowna over the following years is what most people remember.
THE DAILY COURIER FULL
In 1985, the RIH board of directors, supported by the medical staff’s cancer clinic committee and the medical advisory committee, submitted a proposal for expansion of the clinic to full service. In 1976, the Interior Cancer Clinic was established at RIH. The Kamloops quest for a full-service cancer clinic goes back to 1991-92 and even before that - talk began in the mid-1950s. Radiation usually involves multiple treatments. Patients in need of it currently must board a special shuttle bus to Kelowna. While RIH has a good clinic now, it lacks the ability to provide radiation treatment. Now that the tower is completed and has been officially open since last month, maybe attention can be shifted to getting the new cancer clinic done. Over the past few years, most of the focus for Royal Inland Hospital has been on the $417- million patient-care tower. “The centre will be built.” Just a couple of weeks ago, he said it again. Earlier this year, Health Minister Adrian Dix said the new clinic is in the “concept planning phase.” He’d said the same thing five months earlier. That was walked back significantly a year later when the now-majority government of the New Democrats said it was instead within a 10-year cancer care plan. Premier John Horgan promised during the election campaign in the fall of 2020 that a full service cancer clinic would be built here within the four-year mandate of a new NDP government
THE DAILY COURIER PROFESSIONAL
For this you would have to find a volunteer who does this or hire a professional researcher.A FULL-SERVICE CANCER CLINIC is in the works for Kamloops somewhere within the books of the provincial NDP government but it might be a long way off. They do not write the obituaries and have no further information other than what is posted within the obituaries. These obituaries are transcribed as published and are submitted by volunteers who have no connection to the families. Her passion will be missed and she will live in our hearts forever. She is survived by husband Jac their daughter Kelly (Dan) son Jon Chamaine) grandchildren Emma, Ian, Sam and Anna and her sisters Jo and Melba. She was also a regular at Island Fitness Club and loved to go "garage sale-ing," enjoying the hunt and the haggling as much as the item she actually brought home.

They later moved to Prescott Valley, Ariz., into a house they designed and a city that she loved and called home. She was also a mom figure to many of their friends.
