Founded in 1993, PROSTAID Calgary is grateful to be celebrating more than 30 years of supporting men and families across Calgary and the surrounding communities.

Our work is made possible through private contributions. These gifts keep our monthly meetings running, support our website at prostaid.org, and help us publish our journal, The Digital Examiner, so we can continue offering guidance, connection, and hope to those who need it.

• Our monthly meetings bring in trusted health specialists and offer a chance to reconnect with familiar faces or meet new friends who understand the journey.

• Our website is a reliable place to stay updated on society news and the latest in prostate cancer research. We refresh it often, so feel free to visit regularly.

• Our monthly journal, The Digital Examiner, now reaches more than 1,300 subscribers. If you would like to receive this free resource, simply sign up and we will add you to our mailing list.

We hope to meet you at one of our monthly gatherings and welcome you into our community.

Our Mission Statement

PROSTAID Calgary exists to make sure no one faces prostate cancer alone. We provide peer support rooted in lived experience, offer clear and accessible education, and raise awareness about early detection so families can find strength, clarity, and hope at every step of the journey. Together, we help men, partners, and caregivers navigate this disease with compassion, community, and practical guidance.

We focus on three core priorities.

Offering peer support so men and their families feel understood, informed, and never alone on their prostate cancer journey.

Raising awareness and helping our community understand the importance of early detection and education.

Advocating for a strong provincial voice that ensures prostate cancer patients and caregivers are heard, supported, and valued.

The Fine Print

We are here to offer support, not medical advice. We do not recommend specific treatments, medications, physicians, or products. If medical guidance is shared, it should come only from a qualified health care professional.

At times, you may hear differing or even controversial opinions during our meetings. This is part of learning from real experiences. Still, any medical decisions should always be made in consultation with your health care team.

We believe every person deserves clear information and the confidence to make informed choices about their treatment and care. Our role is to help you gather knowledge, ask questions, and feel supported along the way.
