Despite this loss of contact we wish to advise that important functions of our organization are up and running. Directors of the Board are in constant contact with each other. Our online and telephone support to members and the newly diagnosed is active. We recently added new capacity to our peer support function. We have a full time coordinator and a peer support team. We can respond quickly to requests for support. Our email address: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) is constantly monitored as is our telephone answering system - 613-828-0762. Either way we will get back to you quickly. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns that we may be able to answer or follow up on. We expect for the next while hospital services will be different and some changes might be experienced. We hope these circumstances will not be too disruptive.
Notice to PCNO Members
Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) and the Canadian Cancer Society were amalgamated in 2020. However, PCNO has no legal relationship with PCC. PCNO is an independent Ottawa-based organization with its own By-law and CRA charity number. All PCNO activities and funds raised are dedicated to local causes and organizations whose purpose is to conduct public awareness, research and supporting men and their families cope with prostate cancer. The amalgamation of these two organizations in no way affects the mandate of PCNO and its focus on work in the city of Ottawa and immediate area.
