A CCSVI conference in Vancouver has turned Grande Prairie's Debbie Golden onto some new information.

Golden is the president of the G-P CCSVI Society which advocates for the approval of the multiple sclerosis treatment.

She says the conference showed her scientists are developing new ways to make the controversial procedure safer.

Golden says it's the society's job to make sure people are informed.

Golden says the group is working to pressure the federal government to act on its promise to roll out clinical trials for the CCSVI treatment.
