Our Motivation

For the fourth consecutive year, OPG is coming together under the banner of One M’OPG to champion the Movember cause. Our team name, a nod to our One OPG efforts, is testament to our cross-team collaborative spirit, uniting us as we grow, move, and raise awareness to change the face of men’s health.

Last year, our collective efforts culminated in Canada’s largest team, made up of 137 members (top 2 in the WORLD). Together, we covered 2940 km of exercise and raised over $56,000 ($250k to date).
This year, our targets include rallying a team of over 150 members, raising $50,000, and collectively covering a distance of 3000 km. (This distance symbolizes the stretch from our most northwest facilities in Kenora to Point Lepreau, New Brunswick, representing the expansive engagement across OPG).

Historically, the Movember movement within OPG has seen a male-centric participation, but the invitation is open to all. Growing a moustache has always been iconic of Movember but is not a prerequisite to contribute. Every kilometer covered, dollar donated, or conversation started makes a difference.
There is less than a week to go - the countdown to Movember is on. Join the MOvement and get growing, moving and starting conversations to help promote men’s health.

Let's keep up the good work and keep fighting for a good cause.

Previous year's posts

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).

Let's try this again! Josh Burns, I nominate you for mustache (or lack thereof) of the day! Pass it on and don't forget to post a pic of the all time greats!

Team -
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!

Mo Brothers & Sisters

It’s time to ramp up the Mo-Spirit with a “Mo of the day” post! Rules are easy: I’ll post a “Mo of the day” pic today, and then nominate another Mo Bro/Sis to post the next day (note - you need to harass your nominee to ensure they get the message!). The cycle continues until the month ends. Let’s keep spreading the Mo-message. I nominate Neil Mohan to post tomorrows “Mo of the day”.
