KAMLOOPS, BC – In a shock move, Health Minister Adrian Dix has ruled out any possibility of revisiting plans for the proposed Kamloops Cancer Centre.
The announcement came as a major blow to the residents of Kamloops and the surrounding areas who had been eagerly awaiting the construction of the new centre.
"It’s not just about politics, it’s about putting people’s health first," Dix said in a statement. "After careful consideration, we have decided to prioritize other pressing healthcare issues across the province."
The proposed Kamloops Cancer Centre was first announced in 2019 and was touted as a much-needed addition to the local healthcare system. The centre was designed to provide essential cancer services to the people of Kamloops and beyond.
The decision to shelve the project has sent shockwaves through the community, with many residents taking to social media to express their disappointment and frustration.
"This is a huge disappointment for the people of Kamloops," said local resident and cancer survivor, [Name]. "We desperately need this centre to help us receive the care and treatment we need. The government is failing us again."
Despite the backlash, Dix maintains that the decision was necessary to ensure the province’s healthcare system remains sustainable and efficient.
"The reality is that we cannot build every centre we would like to, but we are committed to providing world-class healthcare services to the people of BC," he said.
The news comes as a blow to the local healthcare community, with many hospital staff and cancer patients feeling let down by the government’s decision.
"We are devastated by the news and will do everything in our power to find alternative solutions to support the people of Kamloops and beyond," said [Hospital Name] CEO, [Name].
The decision to shelve the Kamloops Cancer Centre has left many questions unanswered, including what will happen to the plans and resources that were already allocated to the project.

Your title is misleading if you read the article does it not say he wants to continue with the new building he just doesn’t want to combine radiation with chemo in the new building because it would delay the project further and he wants it completed sooner than later…?
You title is misleading. They want the center built SOONER. And so should all of us. Most of us know someone who battled cancer.
He literally announces long term care beds and an expedited cancer centre. Castanet is spinning this opposite of what is actually happening. Love them or hate them, the NDP has raised payments to family doctors and is providing additional support for Interior Health.
