Last week the Cancer Care Foundation of Manitoba received a 27 million dollar donation from the Paul Albertson Foundation.

Patty Smith President and CEO of the organization says upgrades will help attract scientists, and they have already been able to purchase 5 new single-cell technology machines that look at cancer on a cellular level.

This equipment is already being put to use. A new center for hope is planned at the Western Cancer Center in Brandon, and an upgrade to enhance their genomic platform is also in the works.
