ALS Society of Canada

A charitable organization that lives its values of accountability, collaboration, compassion, integrity, dynamic, and respect, ALS Canada works with the ALS community to improve the lives of Canadians affected by ALS through advancing research, care, advocacy, and information. Our world is challenging. The people we serve are dealing with a devastating illness. But through it all, 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.

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 whose work is powered by generous donors who share our vision of a world free of ALS.

Volunteering with ALS Canada is an opportunity to make an enormous difference in the lives of all those affected by ALS, to give back to your community, to meet new people and to have fun!
