Canada has over 60 Prostate Cancer Support Groups that meet once a month. This Richmond group in British Columbia is founded in 2013 by volunteers and focused on providing help to Chinese-speaking men, but everyone is welcome. 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.
If you want to chat one on one with a survivor, you may drop in our walking club. The Richmond Blue Walkers walk 5-10 km on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am-11 am, along the beautiful river dykes and parks in Richmond (Walk in the Richmond Shopping Centre during the rainy days or cold seasons).

邀請加拿大華裔前列腺癌康復者和照顧者參與研究 Chinese Canadian prostate cancer survivor and caregiver participants needed
研究項目參與邀請函 - 需要加拿大華裔前列腺癌倖存者和照顧者的參與
這項研究是關於什麼的?我們的研究團隊開發了一款旨在為前列腺癌患者提供線上隨訪護理的應用程序(線上隨訪護理)。在多倫多大學,我們正試圖找出這個應用程序如何能更好地支持處於前列腺癌生存階段的加拿大華人及其護理人員的健康。
誰有資格參加這項研究?如果你是華裔加拿大人的前列腺癌倖存者或照顧者,我們希望你能提供你接受前列腺癌隨訪康復護理的經驗,以及你希望通過線上診所獲得哪些支持。訪談的信息將被用來幫助設計一個線上護理診所,以支持接受後續護理的華裔加拿大人前列腺癌倖存者。你為這項研究提供的信息將被保密。
你將獲得每小時50加幣的報酬,作為對你同意接受采訪的感謝。如果您想要獲取更多信息,請參見所附的《倖存者和照顧者信息函》。
如果你有興趣參加這項研究,請通過電話或電子郵件與研究人員Ms. Karen Young聯繫。
