Motivation

For the 6th consecutive year, OPG came together under the banner of M’OPG to champion the Movember cause. Once again, our enterprise-wide team demonstrated OPG’s collaborative spirit, bringing people together across the organization to grow, move, raise awareness, and start important conversations about men’s health.

This year, 136 members registered for M’OPG, making us officially the largest Movember team in all of Canada, out of more than 6,500 registered teams, and #7 in the world!

Together, our team raised an incredible $59,700, placing M’OPG #10 in Canada for total funds raised. Combined with the efforts of OPG teams across the province, we have now raised more than $380,000 to date in support of men’s health.

Our team also got moving, collectively running, jogging and biking more than 3,250 kilometres, exceeding our goal. That is a distance greater than travelling from Kenora to Cornwall, through Durham and down to Niagara, symbolizing the reach and participation of employees across OPG.

Historically, Movember at OPG has seen male-centric participation, but M’OPG continues to be a movement for everyone. Growing a moustache may be the iconic symbol of Movember, but it has never been a prerequisite to making a difference. Every kilometre covered, dollar donated, and conversation started helps raise awareness and support better outcomes for men’s health.

Thank you to everyone who joined the MOvement, donated, got active, grew a Mo, or simply started a conversation. Together, M’OPG once again showed what is possible when we come together for a great cause.

Thank you to everyone who supported my campaign this year and every year. With your generous donations my team has just raised over $50k for men's health initiatives! It's about more than growing a Mo, its about saving a Bro. A few more days to donate below to help me raise my goal of $1500

Happy Movember Team M'OPG!! This year again I am taking the Frickin' Freezin' Ride Challenge. I have been doing this challenge for the last 7 years and every year it gets better and better!

Good Luck to all of you in your fundraising efforts, and may we all collectively and individually blow all of our fundraising goals out of the water!!

When I first decided to participate in Movember at the age of 19, I never imagined I’d still be taking part 15 years later. Back then, being the son of a man surviving terminal cancer defined much of my identity. When my dad passed away eight years ago, I heard hundreds of people say, "Be strong for your family" or "You're the man of the house now."

I took on society’s narrow view of what it meant to be a "strong" man. I “manned up,” hardened myself like a rock, avoided vulnerability, and did everything in my power to not be seen as weak. I disassociated from all emotions, didn’t allow myself to grieve, and over time, that emotional suppression showed up as physical health issues. I lost my sense of self and put everyone else’s needs before my own.

For the past two years, I’ve been focused on healing—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Not from the trauma of losing my father, but from the toll of trying to live up to the traditional ideals of masculinity. While I no longer claim this story as my identity, I'm grateful for all the chapters of my life and am elated to share that I’m starting to see and feel the impact of my journey toward self-discovery.

I invite you to share if my message resonates with you, ask questions about my journey, or reach out if you are looking for a safe space to remove the mask of masculinity.
Let’s start a conversation that helps create a world where tears are seen as strength, not weakness.
Let’s redefine what it means to be strong—together.

What a Movember!! I reached all of my goals and it feels damn good!! I raised $2060 (Goal: $2015), I walked 181 kilometers (goal: 180km) and I hosted a Mo'ment (raised $600). It's still just a small drop in the bucket, but with my drop and all your drops, that bucket is pretty full. Thanks Movember and Team OPG for letting me be a part of something so amazing

Today we ride for Men's Mental Health, Prostate Cancer & Testicular Cancer. Riding a motorcycle in 5° weather is never a good idea, but braving the cold is nothing compared to suffering in silence. Please pledge my ride... every little bit helps!!

Day 7, 23 to go. We are behind on our target by ~$5.7K based on almost a quarter of the way through. Let's kick it up a notch and spread the word! This needs to be viral on social media.

One M’OPG Team –
What an unbelievable month.
Another campaign in the books, and this one was unquestionably our best yet!
Once again, our efforts have surpassed all expectations to drive meaningful conversations and awareness for some very important areas including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer through our ONE M'OPG MOvember Campaign.
A huge thanks to everyone who participated this year in our historic ONE M'OPG Movember Campaign.
Without you, this charity drive would not have reached this level of success and recognition worldwide.

THREE DAYS LEFT! Final push to 50k and 1500km !! Great work team!
Let's start the votes for best stache'!

I got myself checked for some of the Men's health risks this November and discussed the importance of regular health checkups and certain cancer screening at certain age!

Awesome that the Mo of the day is flowing through PN now. Thanks Josh Burns!

Keeping it in the Pickering team, I nominate Fraser Gray as the Mo of the Day as he makes fun of my teen stash more than anyone (which is saying something).

The VP of Drivercheck, who was instrumental in ensuring OPG employees had access to our test clinics throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, is facing a cancer diagnosis - please share or donate here:
https://supportthepmcf.ca/ui/DIY/p/CPToughSOB
From his page: "Connor Page, was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer in April 2022. Despite having multiple CTs, biopsies and an MRI, it took four months to diagnose and he was ultimately hospitalized because of the severity of the pain. He was diagnosed a month after his 39th birthday with a cancer that has an average age of onset of 71. "

Shout out to one of our inspirational Movember leaders, Jason Wight, Chief Information Officer, for being one of the first two people to reach $750.00 in donations.
Thanks to this and the many donations we've received, we're number 8 in all of Canada and driving those important conversations in men's health!
