The Canadian Cancer Society thanks the many generous donors and volunteers who have contributed to the campaign for a lodge in Prince George. With their help, the lodge will be there to support people facing cancer in Northern BC.

Mary Kordyban Foundation

The lodge is named “The Kordyban Lodge” In recognition of a significant gift from the Kordyban family.
"The Kordyban Lodge will serve as a vital component for those on a cancer journey and we are honoured to have it named after our family."
- Mary Kordyban

Novak Family Foundation

The meditation centre in the Lodge is called “The Novak Family Spiritual and Meditation Room” to thank the Novak family for their generous contribution.
"My family and I recognize the need for a 'home away from home' for cancer patients here in the North and we are proud to be part of this campaign."
- Henry Novak

West Fraser Timber

West Fraser Timber’s roots are in the North and the largest concentration of their employees come from the area. The company’s donation to help with the lodge’s construction has been commemorated with the naming of the “West Fraser Timber Lounge”.
"[The lodge] will prove vitally important to people throughout central and northern BC."
- Hank Ketcham, Chairman, President and CEO, West Fraser Timber
