Meet Kanika, a pharmacist who joined CancerCare Manitoba in June 2025 and brings passion, curiosity, and a deep commitment to patient care to our team.

Kanika’s journey with CCMB began during her fourth-year pharmacy rotation, where she experienced the collaborative, team-based approach that sets cancer care apart. “It was very different from retail pharmacy,” she shares. “I loved seeing the many ways pharmacists are involved in patient care and being part of a supportive team.”

Now part of the CCMB pharmacy team, Kanika thrives in the fast-evolving world of cancer therapies and embraces the constant learning that comes with it. She credits her colleagues for creating an environment where collaboration, teaching, and support are part of everyday work.

“I love learning about new drugs and treatments and being part of a team where pharmacists are truly valued,” Kanika says.

Today, we celebrate all pharmacists at CancerCare Manitoba—whose expertise, compassion, and dedication make a meaningful difference in patient care every day.

Happy National Pharmacist Day!
