POGO held its first-ever Survivor Conference at the Kingbridge Conference Centre & Institute in King City this past May 21-22, 2011.
The educational sessions addressed topics including: nutrition, fertility, second cancers (risks and prevention), self esteem and sexuality, relationships and disclosure, heart health, memory challenges, and hormonal issues and their treatment.
The conference also featured a social component in which participants were given the opportunity to take part in various social activities including: a cooking class lead by lead chef, a variety of fitness classes, an applied art class and nature walks.
The conference was a tremendous success, with over 90 participants travelling from across Ontario to attend, learn and network with each other.
POGO would like to thank the planning committee for their time and commitment to the success of this conference.
