AME BC is pleased to announce that prostate cancer screening will return for a third year at Mineral Exploration Roundup 2009 on Tuesday, January 27, and Wednesday, January 28, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
For the third year, the Roundup organizing committee has collaborated with the Providence Health Care and the BC Foundation for Prostate Disease to offer free Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing. Over 200 men took advantage of the opportunity to have the simple blood test at Roundup 2008 and as a result, several lives have been saved.

It was a novel idea but it was a fit with our company values so we were keen to do it. We were thrilled with the high profile it was given during the conference and the fact that over 200 men took the blood test.” Ian Graham, Kennecott Canada Exploration Prostate Cancer Awareness Booth at Roundup 2007 staffed by left Ken Courtney and on the right Steve Lee of the BC Foundation for Prostate Disease
