Dear Registrant,

Prostate Cancer Canada and the Prostate Cancer Canada Network

Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) is a national charitable foundation dedicated to the elimination of prostate cancer through research, education, support, advocacy and awareness. In partnership with support groups across Canada, PCCN exists to help individuals and their families understand and cope with prostate cancer by providing up to date information and individual support; lobby for increased funding for research, treatment facilities and programs; and promote the importance of early detection through public education, awareness and special event campaigns.

The 2010 Conference funded by Movember, will be a three day conference with inspirational information sharing, education and mutual support. With an expected 200 or more delegates and delegate partners from support groups across Canada, this conference is central to building a sense of community and mobilization around critical issues for people affected by prostate cancer, and their families.

 Sessions/Workshop and discussion topics include:

  • Team Building/Problem Solving

  • Medical Updates
  • Women and Prostate Cancer
