An organizer said that a Father's Day dinner and dance organized at the Peterborough Curling Club on Friday, collected funds for Prostate Cancer Canada and, more notably, spread consciousness regarding the disease.

Around 65 people were present at the Father's Day Princess Ball, which arrangers expect will turn into a yearly event. The evening comprised a feast, a magic show, a dance and a quiet auction.

Courtney Sidor, one of the arrangers of the incident said that the problem is intense and close to her for the reason that her grandfather, Harold Vacheresse, passed away due to prostate cancer nine years back, at the age of 73.

She said, "Unfortunately my grandfather just didn't follow the signs… because he was bashful about this issue".

Sidor added that men will converse regarding breast cancer, but they have inhibitions discussing about prostate cancer.

She said that it's a big awareness movement for them. Prostate cancer is slightly misconstrued, at times.

She remarks that if one detects it early, it's 90% treatable. They desire that everyone should be speaking and discussing prostate cancer.

Sidor said that one in six Canadian men will be detected with prostate cancer, while one in five of those men, who have been diagnosed with the ailment, will be below 35.
