You’re Invited to the Annual WICC Ontario Breakfast for Cancer, November 13th in Toronto Featuring Guest Speaker Libby Znaimer

For the past 17 years WICC Ontario has been holding an Annual Breakfast for Cancer in November, hosted for the past two years at the historic Fairmont Royal York Hotel. The primary objective of the breakfast is to provide information that will help guests achieve a better understanding of cancer and its effect on our lives. 

Please join us on Thursday Novemeber 13th, along with hundreds of your industry collegues and peers this year, for an inspirational talk by prominent Canadian journalist and author Libby Znaimer. 

After beating breast cancer and then a couple of years later, once again beating the odds and defying a grim prognosis against pancreatic cancer, Znaimer says she remembers feeling as if, suddenly, all the time in the world opened up to her: “One of the things that you find, when you’re finished treatment, is ‘I have all this time, now, what am I going to do?’”  Znaimer says outliving cancer has encouraged her to act in the now.

After treatment, she says she focused on a home renovation and was excited to get back to work, where she is now the vice-president of news and information at Classical 96.3 FM and AM740, as well as host of The Zoomer Report. She also got in touch with Pancreatic Cancer Canada to help profile the disease.

Currently she is writing a pamphlet for Pancreatic Cancer Canada, which she wants to complete for this November: Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Znaimer is also preparing for an office move, completing articles for Zoomer magazine and enjoying life full tilt.

“Frankly, it may come back, so I want to do everything that I want to do as quickly as I can do it because that’s just the way to be,” says Znaimer. “It’s living in the moment.”
