Activities
Everyone is always welcome at Peer Support and Side by Side meetings where you have a chance to share your experiences and help support others. Similarly, all are welcome to listen and ask questions at our Scotiabank Awareness Nights. For all meetings, just show up, no need to call ahead. Parking is free and refreshments are served.
Some training is required to volunteer at the hospital clinics, speak to a group, or be on the list for the Hot Line. (To find out more, click here.)
From time to time, we have booths at special events, such as the Sportsman’s Show, where we require volunteers.
Our only fund raising effort is the annual Safeway Father’s Day Walk/Run, where we get sponsors from family, friends, co-workers, etc. A percentage of what we raise comes back to us to cover our costs of printing, meetings, etc. The rest goes toward prostate cancer research. Some of our members also participate in Movember, which supports Prostate Cancer Canada as well as research.
