Overview
About ALS Society of Canada
Founded in 1977, the ALS Society of Canada (ALS Canada) and our provincial partners are dedicated to supporting Canadians living with ALS and investing in research to make ALS a treatable, not terminal, disease. We are a registered charity whose work is powered by generous donors who share our vision of a world free of ALS.
Through the ALS Canada Research Program, we fund peer-reviewed research grants, foster collaboration, and build capacity within Canada’s ALS research community, and participate in new areas of research where we are well-positioned to have an impact.
Within Ontario, ALS Canada has a role similar to that of the provincial ALS societies providing services and support to help meet the needs of people living with ALS.
ALS Canada advocates federally, provincially, and locally for better government support and access within the healthcare system for people touched by ALS.
