Also in attendance on Saturday, from 12-3 will be the Prostate Cancer Centre's Man Van. The Man Van is a one and only mobile, male health unit and Kendall Waiting, bonspiel chair says, "This is their second time out with us. Last year was fantastic they put through a great number. We think it's a fantastic partnership between the Cochrane Men's Bonspiel and The Man Van. Getting awareness out regarding men's health both physical and mental is important."
