Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada provides an annual award to members of Canadian Association of Neuroscience Nurses (CANN) who have demonstrated excellence in the area of neuro-oncology nursing. This award was established in honour of CANN member, Pamela Del Maestro. As a co-founder of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, she was instrumental in creating and developing many of the programs and services that are offered today.
