Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Society of Canada Société Canadienne de la Sclérose Latérale Amyotrophique

The ALS Society of Canada funds research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells controlling voluntary muscle movement. The organization supports patients and families across Canada, including those in the GTA, through care coordination, equipment assistance, and counselling services. It also advocates for improved access to treatments and palliative care, while investing in laboratory and clinical research aimed at understanding disease mechanisms and developing new therapies. The society connects people affected by ALS with resources, support groups, and information to help them navigate the physical and emotional challenges of living with this terminal illness.
