Mission Statement
We work with the ALS community to improve the lives of people affected by ALS through support, advocacy and investment in research for a future without ALS.
About This Cause
A charitable organization that lives its values of accountability, collaboration, compassion, integrity, dynamic, and respect, the ALS Society of Canada is working to change what it means to live with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an unrelenting and currently terminal disease. Grounded in and informed by the Canadian ALS community, we respond to the urgent unmet need for life-changing treatments by investing in high-quality research that will fuel scientific discovery and by engaging industry, supporting increased clinical capacity, and advocating for equitable, affordable, and timely access to proven therapies. Responding to the tremendous need for current and credible ALS knowledge, awareness, and education, we empower Canadians affected by ALS to navigate the current realities of ALS, be informed consumers of ALS information, and advocate effectively for change. In Ontario, we provide direct community services to help people navigate ALS. Founded in 1977, we are a registered charity that receives no government funding – our work is powered by generous donors who share our vision of a future without ALS. Our world is challenging. The people we serve are dealing with a devastating illness. But in the midst of it, their resiliency and spirit are remarkable and moving. You will be touched by the community and will find a way to engage naturally and effectively.
