Dix promises new cancer centre in Kamloops
The province has approved a concept plan for a long-awaited, long-promised new cancer centre in B.C.’s interior that would open by 2027 in Kamloops.
“We are doing it now and this is a good time to do it,” Dix said, when asked what assurances he could give locals that the centre would go ahead. Former premier John Horgan first made the promise to build a cancer care center in the city on the campaign trial in 2020, pledging to complete its construction within the four-year mandate he later won.
Dix in March 2022 repeated the promise to build the facility without citing a specific date. That changed on Thursday.
