Catalyzed by a local leadership panel showcasing University of Calgary and Tom Baker Cancer Centre faculty as national oncology leaders, and coincident with recent efforts to collect feedback across organizations across the country to guide the modernization of the Canadian Cancer Control Strategy with CPAC, the Tom Baker Cancer Centre will be hosting a national meeting this summer in Calgary from June 20-22, 2019.

Presidents, President-Elects, and Past Presidents of the Canadian Oncology Associations will be invited for a meeting of the minds and sharing of best practices on issues that we face commonly from an organizational perspective. We have identified these organizations thus far: CANO, CAPhO, CAPO, CARO, CAMO, CAMRT, CBMTG, COMP, CSPCP, and CSSO.

The tangible deliverable would be a consensus and collective commitment to future cancer care in Canada.
