CGI
CGI’s 2010 workplace campaign was a great success, raising
$14,711 for cancer research at the Centre for Innovative Cancer
Research (CICR).
Under the leadership of Hicham Adra, Senior Vice President and General
Manager, CGI employees have helped equip the CICR with cutting-edge
equipment and clinical testing spaces.
Complemented by a corporate gift, CGI’s investment gives hope
and comfort to our patients and their families. We just can’t
thank the CGI team enough!

Thanks to the generosity of CGI employees they raised more than $48,600 in
2005. The funds raised helped develop the new Ages Cancer
Assessment Clinic which opened in 2007 at the General Campus
to assist patients and their families undergoing assessment
and diagnosis for lung, colorectal and prostate cancer.
Now in 2010, CGI Employees are again turning their attention
to cancer treatment, specifically the Centre for Innovative
Cancer Research at the new Cancer Centre also located
at the General Campus.
- Dr. John Bell’s preliminary trials of new oncolytic
virus therapies have shown a remarkable 70% response rate
in tumors that were resistant to conventional therapies.
With this facility in our community, it is our friends and
family who will benefit from clinical trials first.
- The new Centre for Innovative Cancer Research will attract
the best researchers and clinicians. This modern research
facility will attract and retain the best scientists, putting
more brain power behind our research institute and the potential
for greater discoveries in our community, which will result
in better care for our patients.
- With the expanded space, and streamlined process the new
Centre for Innovative Cancer Research (CICR) will provide,
having a lab, manufacturing and trial space together will
allow for faster feedback, retooling and testing of new
treatments.
