As part of its Physician Recruitment program, Halton Region hosted the annual Docs on Ice tournament at the Sixteen Mile Sports Complex.   Docs on Ice is a provincial  organization comprised exclusively of hockey playing Doctors who descend on different locality every year to raise charity funds.   Much of  fundraising is done on a personal basis.   They are often supported by media personnel and NHL hockey players.

With the help of local volunteers, the tournament raises funds through a combination of registration fees, sponsorship, donations and special events.

Funds raised through Docs on Ice Oakville 2011 will support the Alzheimer Society of Hamilton/Halton and will be used to expand the Alzheimer Society Oakville resource centre. This year over $150,000.00 was raised for Alzheimers due to efforts of Docs on Ice.

Mammogram – High risk group (women between the ages of 50 and 70 inclusive)
In Canada, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women affecting 1 in 9 Canadians. As women get older, the chance of getting breast cancer rises. Mammograms can help to find small breast cancers before there are signs and symptoms. If breast cancer is found at an early stage there is a high rate of successful treatment. As well, for many women, finding cancer early may allow for more treatment options, such as breast conserving surgery or less aggressive treatment.

A mammogram is a low dose X-ray that produces an image of the inner breast tissue on film. This technique, called mammography, is used to visualize normal and abnormal structures within the breasts.

Come out and join us for a night of fun.
