A new event for this year is the Toronto Maple Leaf Alumni Hockey Game at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex on Friday, November 29th.  The former Leaf players will be hitting the ice to take on the Movember Mavericks.  It will be a fun-filled day starting with an afternoon Fun Fair beginning at 1pm and then the puck drops for the hockey game at 7:30pm.

Men growing moustaches become walking, talking billboards for men’s health. The best part about Movember is that before a dollar is raised…1000’s of men across Canada and the world are growing moustaches and starting conversations that are changing people’s lives. This is called the “power of the moustache”. – via the Movember Foundation

We want to encourage both the men and women of Kitchener Waterloo to get involved with Movember KW this year.
