Prostate Cancer Support Ottawa Events

Prostate Cancer Support Ottawa participates in several local Ottawa area and Eastern Ontario community events each year.  These events primarily serve as opportunities to pursue our mandate to promote awareness of prostate cancer, including early diagnosis, treatment options and available resources.  Information for each event will be posted to the calendar here as it becomes available.  We hope you’ll come out to enjoy yourselves, meet some of our members and learn about prostate cancer.

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.
