This is the month of Movember – ‘Tis the season to fundraise for Prostate Cancer Canada. Don’t be surprised if you see your colleague, friend, or family member wearing a mo. Give him a pat on his shoulder for helping a worthy cause.

In Movember, we have prepared three great events for you. We are proud to present a Lunch & Learn event on U.S. Real Estate Market in partnership with HSBC Premier. Are you a photo bug? Check out the photography workshop at Lomography and you will have a chance to win a Diana F analogue camera. Our last pub night of the year is on Movember 15. Lastly, thank you for your support to another year of UBC-TO newsletter. We would also like to extend a hearty thank-you and a big round of applause to our team of dedicated volunteers. See you in 2012.

Movember, also known as November, is here again this year. Last year, there were almost 119,000 Canadian Mo Bros and Mo Sistas raised funds and awareness for men’s health and prostate cancer. Together they raised a whopping 22.3 Million for prostate cancer research, awareness and survivorship. Check out Movember.com to see some of the inspiring outcomes from those funds. AND any MO-lumni (see what we did there) looking to get involved this year can register on the website. Get ready to get growing, it’s only around the corner. We’re sure you’ll look MOvelous.
