Peel
Region Seminar on Prostate Cancer
Wednesday,
20th October 2004
Lester
B. Pearson Convention center
The
peel region held a series of health seminars for the general
public
at the Lester B. Pearson Convention center on the 20th October.
Amongst these was a seminar on Prostate Cancer which drew
some 70 - 80 attendees. The speaker on Prostate cancer
was Dr. Thomas Short, Head Of Urology, Credit Valley Hospital.
Us
Too! Brampton was the primary support group selected and
invited to participate in the seminar.
Fred Norris, Gerry Brunjes, Ian Smith represented our group.
Our participation included setting up a table top display
of plaques,
posters, brochures and other awareness related materials,
spreading the
message and instilling the importance of early PSa testing.
The group also addressed many questions for the attendees
as they
stopped by the display area - just another little endeavor
to help our
cause and further the battle against Prostate cancer. We are
also
hoping that at a future date Dr. Tom Short might accept to
speak at
our general meeting.
We are honored for being selected and
for the opportunity to participate.
Us
Too! Brampton gratefully acknowledges
thanks to the Peel Region.
