Mayor Dennis Fenske is hoping to raise awareness of Prostate Cancer.

Last week, he proclaimed the month of September for 2015, to be prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

During City Beat he told us that Prostate Cancer is treatable if caught early, and hopes the proclamation will encourage more men to get their prostate screened.

A Canadian Cancer Society report release earlier in the year predicts an estimated 740 men in Manitoba will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, and an estimated 180 men will die of the cancer.
