We speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, meet on the second Thursday of every month from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Seniors Centre of Minoru Centre for Active Living (7191 Granville Avenue, Richmond, BC V6Y 1N9 Multipurpose Room 1 (1033)). Join us for the professional presentation and talk to other men and family members who have been dealing with prostate cancer for weeks, months or even years.

No registration is required and all ages are welcome. Please swipe your Facility Pass ($36/year for seniors 55+ or spouses) or pay a $5 drop-in fee at the front desk when arriving for each session.

We are planning back to the Minoru Seniors Centre on Thursday, October 14, 2021, from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Address 7191 Granville Avenue, Richmond, BC, V6Y 1N9

This in-person meeting has some rules:
  • For the Facility Pass holders only ($28/year for seniors 55+ or spouses), all frozen 2020 membership is already reactivated from October 1. The pass is good for over 50 activities (see table below).
  • If no pass, please arrive 15 minutes earlier to pay the $4.3 drop-in fee at the front desk.

  • Maximum 18 participants include the guest speaker and facilitators; please reply to email dleung2000@gmail.com for registration NOW (name and number of person, Facility Pass - yes or no).
During the COVID19, our support group connections were limited. Thanks to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of BC (PCFBC) was provided significant help to keep us connected with the Zoom meeting. Also, it expanded the network from BC to national; the division of Prostate Cancer Support Canada (PCSCanada) was formed to join us with all support groups in Canada.

Our pleasure is to have Ms Richelle Green, Support Services Manager of PCFBC, as our guest speaker at our first in-person in the new venue. She will share the support services with the prostate cancer patients and family. And introduce the three new nationwide support groups too.
