Meetings
For our meetings and presentations, either in person or electronically, the following guidelines apply.
Prostate Cancer Support Ottawa (PCSO) is intended to offer a safe space to process feelings and experiences related to Prostate Cancer while receiving peer support and sharing our journeys. In this forum we hope to provide an opportunity for communication with others you come to trust about your concerns and how you are feeling to assist in easing stress.
Our group leaders, or any participant here today, will not provide medical, mental health or any other type of health service. No diagnosis, treatment recommendations or advice regarding any medical or mental health condition or illness will be offered. We are, however, all open to sharing our stories, journeys and experiences in hope that you can relate and feel supported in your situation.
Monthly Social Drop-Ins
Please come on out and join us in person for relaxed social drop-ins at the Maplesoft-Jones Centre. All are welcome – members, newcomers, and partners/caregivers.
These new monthly PCSO meetings will start at 6:00 pm in the Great Room of the Maplesoft-Jones Centre, 1500 Alta Vista Drive [MAP], every first Thursday of the month except July and August. These are in-person only events, with coffee and light refreshments available. Check our Meetings page for details.
We hope to see you there!
Regular PCS Ottawa Meetings
Unless otherwise noted, we hold Prostate Cancer Support Ottawa’s regular monthly meetings at the Maplesoft-Jones Cancer Survivorship Centre [Map] on the third Thursday of each month. We don’t hold meetings in the months of July and August, except for our ever-popular annual BBQ on the third Thursday of August.
We offer most of our meetings in hybrid format, allowing you to attend either in person or virtually. Watch our Meetings and Events website page or your e-mail inbox for meeting locations and specific registration instructions.
We normally start our meetings with a social gathering at 5:30 pm, followed at 6:00 pm with brief business announcements, followed by either a guest speaker or a sharing session.
We thank you for your continued support!
