Hello fellow chamber leaders.
As you may have heard, the
Western Nova Scotia Cancer Support Network has been generating a huge groundswell of support for a Cancer Radiation unit to be established in Yarmouth. Currently, there are 8 radiation centres in Nova Scotia (6 in Halifax, and 2 in Sydney). This leaves the residents of Western Nova Scotia with no choice but to travel, sometimes up to 4 hours to receive radiation.
The Yarmouth & Area Chamber of Commerce, along with the Barrington Chamber of Commerce and the Weymouth Board of Trade have publicly supported this initiative. My ask of you, is to join this grassroots campaign and lobby government for this essential service.
I have included a petition that I would ask that you display at your place of business and return to the Chamber office or Derek Lesser at YCMHS when filled. I think we can all agree, we are a much stronger force in solidarity, than apart.
Thank you for your consideration.
