TerraceBC top officials bristle at ‘Movember’ men’s health challenge
Amid an increase in cancer rates coming out of the pandemic, a group of Terrace public servants are raising awareness about the importance of men’s health this ‘Movember’ through a friendly mustache competition that both the RCMP and the City of Terrace’s fire department fully expect to win.
“Now we’re on the other end of the pandemic, if you will, we’re seeing the outcome for people, that some of the cancers are there and they’re a little bit more advanced than what we would normally see,” Simms said. “We are seeing on the other side of the pandemic, for a number of reasons, increased presentations of mental health challenges that people are having.
“Over the many years that they’ve been studying it, firefighters have found out that we’re susceptible to cancer just from our occupation and jobs that we do,” Klie said. Aaron Callaghan, the newly-minted superintendent of schools at Coast Mountains School District 82, said screening has been important for him over the last year.
Kris Boland, the City of Terrace’s manager, said it was a “no brainier” for him to jump on board with Simms’ Movember initiative.
