Yes, it’s Movember! Time to grow that mo! Let your moustaches flow freely this month to help tackle prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health.
Alternatively, if you are moustache-challenged, you can help support men’s health by attending events or buy products in support of the Movember Foundation.
Or just shave a moustache into the side of your head to show your support. If that’s not for you, here are a few other ways to mark Movember in Vancouver this month.
Shave Down
- What: Start off by shaving down – get your face shaved clean, ready to grow that mo. Alternatively, get that beard shaved into a moustache, or maybe that moustache shaved into an even better moustache! Whatever floats your boat.

- When: Tuesday, November 1 at 11 am
- Admission: By $5 donation online
