The federal election is scheduled for April 28, 2025, and it’s a key opportunity to make sure the voices of Canadians affected by ALS are heard.
ALS is a devastating disease that can affect anyone at any time. It can move with startling swiftness, and with no cure, the ALS community has no choice but to measure time not by months or years but by loss–loss of function and loss of life. As more families are impacted by this disease, the need for federal leadership and investments in research is becoming increasingly urgent.
Raising our voices and engaging with candidates during the election is a critical way to keep ALS on the radar. To support community advocacy during the election, ALS Canada has created the Candidate Handout – ALS in Canada: What Candidates Need to Know, a practical resource that helps inform candidates about the realities of ALS and how they can support the Canadian ALS community.
