International Men's Day (IMD) at NCI

Celebrating some of our staff on International Men's Day allows us to centre the voices of men in the NCI community, learn more about our colleagues, and listen to their experiences, concerns and interest.

Taking place on November 19th 2025, the theme for IMD in 2025 is “Celebrating Men and Boys.” This year’s theme aims to highlight and celebrate positive male role models, as well as raising awareness about mental health and men’s well-being.

Here in NCI, the EDI and HR team want to celebrate just some of the men who work in our institution. We wanted to learn more about them beyond their role and celebrate what has shaped the man they are today. We asked some of the men in our community about their experiences at NCI, the path they have taken, their inspirations, motivations, and what International Men’s Day means to them. If you missed our International Women’s Day series, you can catch up here.

We encourage you to take a moment to learn more about a few of the remarkable men who make up the NCI community.
