ALS Awareness

 

Cornflower
Annual Variety

Raising awareness of ALS is a key program of the ALS Society of Canada and its Provincial
Socities.

All of our activities have an element of awareness to them and we are always looking for more opportunities to bring ALS to the attention of the Canadian public.

June is ALS month.  Locally individuals and groups take on a wide range of activities to raise awareness in their community.  The ALS Society of Canada supports these efforts with information and other support materials.  We also distribute public service announcements to media across the country. 

If you are interested in developing a public awareness project or would like to know more, please contact either your Provincial ALS Society or Bobbi Greenberg, Director of Communications.
