Our March 2008 Awareness Night guest speaker Dr. Roger Buckley (North York General Hospital) and Man to Man Awareness Night Coordinator Winston Klass.

Our November 2007 guest speaker, Dr. Sidney Radomski, talked about incontinence and erectile dysfunction to what we believe was the largest Awareness Night audience in our thirteen-year history of hosting these meetings at the Toronto Botanical Garden. It was another very successful evening and a great way of ending our 2007 Awareness Night program.
