We are offering interested groups in the Ottawa, Eastern Ontario and Outaouais regions the opportunity to learn about what Prostate Cancer Support Ottawa does to help men and their families impacted by prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is considered one of the most treatable cancers, especially if detected early, yet it is still the second leading cause of death from cancer in men in Canada. In 2025, an estimated 30,400 men will have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in Canada1. In the areas served by PCS Ottawa, that figure translates to just over 1,400 cases of local men learning that they have cancer and then having to choose from among the available treatment options.
The PCS Ottawa Awareness Team is ready to respond to organizations wanting to learn more about what our support group offers to help men and their families impacted by prostate cancer. We can attend one of your gatherings, give a short presentation and then engage in discussion and answer any questions your group members may have about prostate cancer, its diagnosis, treatments, side effects and rehabilitation, as well as more information about Prostate Cancer Support Ottawa. We can conduct these presentations in either English or French, as required.
To schedule a presentation, please email us with your proposed date and requirements at events@pscottawa.ca, or leave us a message at our business number: 613-828-0762.
