A Message from our former Chair Fred Norris regarding our history

In November of 1994, the urologists in Brampton invited all Prostate Cancer
patients along with their spouses to attend a meeting in the Brampton
Hospital Auditorium. From memory, well over 150 people responded.

The Moderator for the evening was Sandy Stevens R.N., who worked
closely with the Urologists at the Hospital. Dr. Mojtaba Beheshti gave a slide
projection of the male reproduction system explaining along the way
the significance of the prostate. A follow up speaker for the evening was Norm Oman,
a Winnipeger who formed the first prostate Support Group in Canada.

His talk, along with the questions fired at Dr. Beheshti, resulted in
30 people coming forward and expressing their desire to form this Support Group.

Initially under the leadership of Tony Parker, we struggled to reach out
and get new people to come to the meetings. Great support was forthcoming from
the Doctors who continued to update us on the disease. At one point,
two nurses, Sandy and Jackie Gray, stood alone in Bramalea City Centre
approaching people with pamphlets making them aware of the disease!

Now many Years down the road we are a vibrant, active group with nearly
160 members who can take pride in the knowledge that some 400 men and
their families have at one time or another received needed support from this group.

We continue to enjoy good rapport with the medical profession with updates
on new treatments and we continue to strive to make the public more
aware of this disease and of the benefits of detecting it early.

In retrospect, we have come a long way since 1994 and I am proud
that we as a group have helped so many along the way.
