Twenty-seven men came into the Man Van at Olds College May 4 to get tested for possible prostate cancer.
That's down from Christmas when 40 men dropped by for the test, but Man Van program manager Ken Rabb says he's still happy with the turnout. He said many of those who did come into the van did so for the first time.
Rabb is not sure why the number was down Saturday, because it was being run in conjunction with the Rotary district convention, held at the college. He wonders if organizers somehow got more walk-in traffic at Christmas time because the van was located outside Canadian Tire.
"We always love to see new faces (in) the van," he said in an email.
The tests are offered to men over the age of 40 to look for signs of possible prostate cancer.
Rabb says prostate cancer is the leading cancer in Albertan men.
He is also grateful that the Rotary Club sponsored the van's appearance, which occurred during the club's district conference in Olds this past weekend.
