From November 1 to 30, 2026, DUO Centre Laval joins the global Movember movement and invites its customers to donate generously to make this fundraising and awareness campaign a success for the benefit of men's health.

Every year in November, the Movember campaign calls on people’s generosity around the world and aims to raise awareness about the important issues of testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and men’s mental health.

Given that men are still less likely to consult healthcare professionals or to discuss their physical and psychological well-being openly, we hope to use its visibility and influence to support this cause.

Beyond the shopping experience, our shopping centre has the potential to become a place where we inform, raise awareness, and bring the community together around human issues like these.

A Few facts About Men’s Health:

• On average, men live 4 to 5 years less than women.
• In Canada, 3 suicides out of 4 are committed by men. 
• One in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer among young men. However, many do not know how to perform a self-exam or which signs warrant further attention.

Take a few seconds to Check Your Pair, a simple guide developed by Movember that helps you get to know your body better and develop good habits.

Since 2003, donations raised by the Movember movement have helped fund 1,300 men's health projects around the world.

These research projects, programs, and initiatives—as diverse as they are essential—would not have been possible without people’s generosity. In 2025, 81% of every dollar received was directly invested in these projects, which aim to improve health and extend the lives of our spouses, fathers, brothers, and sons.

To play our part, we hope to raise funds and shed light on these issues, which are still largely unknown. But we need your help to make this happen, and every little bit counts! 

Here are some ways you can contribute with us to this important cause:

• Donate online to help us increase the total amount raised for Movember.
  
  
• Come meet Movember representatives and speak freely with them to learn more about men's health. Check your favourite shopping centre's website to find out when they'll be visiting a location near you. 
  
  
• Use the themed question box located at the information kiosk to submit a question or story that might be selected to spark discussions on our social media channels.
  
  
• Follow us on social media and help us increase awareness by sharing our content.
