       treated for cancer and dealing with hair loss can now get help with
       the cost of a wig through a one-time rebate of $300.

       Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson noted there are
       individuals who have the opportunity to get wigs but some folks
       weren`t able to have that service, noting it is expensive on top of
       all the other expenses associated with cancer treatment.
