[Hopespringpcsg] FW: How HopeSpring is Helping During COVID-19

Mon Mar 23 09:41:23 EDT 2020

Hi all:

See below for the HopeSpring weekly e-newsletter.

Prostate Cancer Canada Network Waterloo-Wellington, in an abundance of caution, is cancelling the support group meeting of March 24, 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With members who are recovering from and /or being treated for Prostate Cancer and may have diminished immune systems we feel this is a good avenue to follow at this time. We are still available for contact via the PCCN W-W e-mail at  <mailto:info at pccn-waterloo-wellington.ca> info at pccn-waterloo-wellington.ca or answering service at 226-240-9264.

Take care & stay healthy.

Glen
