Did you know that we have some amazing music talent hiding in ranks of CCTG? There has been a friendly (?) music rivalry between Dr. Jim Biagi (Old DOCS New Tricks) and Dr. Dan Renouf (Desolation Sound Machine) and they are letting everyone at the CCTG Spring Meeting be entertained and be the judges of who has the best band.
Every year at the CCTG Spring Meeting we recognize individuals who have contributed significantly to the mission and activities of the Canadian Cancer Trials Group. Presentation of the awards will happen at the Recognition Awards Ceremony on Friday May 3 from 5:30 to 6:00 at the Chelsea Hotel in Toronto. We are honored to acknowledge the 2019 CCTG Recognition Awards winners.
