The Dr William H. Lakey Transplantation Lectureship was created through the generosity of the Lakey family. Dr Bill Lakey performed the first kidney transplant at the University of Alberta Hospital in 1967 and would go on to perform nearly 800 more. Dr Lakey was a true transplantation pioneer who bettered the lives of countless Canadians through his passion and dedication.
