The Canadian Male Health Network (CMHN) is a Movember initiative that was started this year to address critical male health issues.
Initially, the Canadian Male Health Network will be bringing together some of the top scientific and medical professionals from across the country as an advisory panel to Movember Canada. The panel will assist in identifying gaps in the Canadian male mental health area, but will address broader men’s health issues in the future. Funds from the Movember campaign will be invested in the identified priority areas following this year’s campaign.

Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become walking, talking billboards, for our men’s health causes - specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.
Men who support Movember, called Mo Bros, start by registering at Movember.com. Mo Bros start Movember 1st clean shaven, then grow and groom their Mo for the rest of the month, raising money along the way. Women who support Movember, called Mo Sistas, also start by registering at Movember.com. Mo Sistas champion the Mo by supporting their Mo Bros, organizing events, leading a team and spreading the important message of men’s health.

A Mo is slang for the word moustache and is defined according to the Movember rules:
1. There is to be no joining of the Mo to your side burns – That’s considered a beard.
2. There is to be no joining of the handlebars – That’s considered a goatee.
3. A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).

3. A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).
A network is a group made up of different teams and individuals that could represent a company, organization, college or school, sports team, community group or other.
You can be a member of multiple networks, e.g. your work network and/or sports team network. This allows you to contribute to their total amount raised and compare fundraising, while still participating on your own or in a team. This is a great way for business, schools, civil services and other groups to track their progress.
To set up a network for your group please call 1-855-4GROWMO(1-855-447-6966) or email us at info.ca@movember.com.

If you already have a Moustache you can do a ‘reverse Movember’ and have people donate to you to shave it off. Alternatively, you could shave off your moustache on Movember 1st and then re-grow your Mo throughout the month…. Maybe it’s time to try a new Mo style?
We’re afraid not. The definition of a Mo is:
1. There is to be no joining of the Mo to your side burns – That’s considered a beard.
2. There is to be no joining of the handlebars – That’s considered a goatee.
3. A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).
