COMMITTED MUNICIPALITIES
YOUR CITY AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER
Across Quebec, municipalities, town halls, municipal councils, deputies and other political actors are committed to the fight against prostate cancer as part of the Bowvember campaign for the benefit of PROCURE.
Ask your neighborhood, district or city representatives to support the cause on behalf of all citizens.
“Together, as mayors of our cities, we have the power to continue to mark November 19th as Prostate Cancer Awareness Day in our communities. By continuing this tradition of recent years, we highlight men's health and show our commitment to prevention and awareness. Let us make this date a strong moment of mobilization in the fight against prostate cancer, in order to protect the health of our fellow citizens. The mayors of Quebec cities are very close to their citizens, it is thanks to this proximity that we will be able to put the cause forward even more."
November 19th is officially designated by the Quebec government as Quebec Prostate Cancer Awareness Day.
Pass a resolution
Mayors of Quebec, we invite you to play a key role in the fight against prostate cancer by adopting a resolution to designate November 19th as the official Prostate Cancer Awareness Day in your municipality.
This resolution will help increase awareness of this disease and encourage prevention and early detection. Join us in this effort to raise awareness and save lives.
