Today, ALS Canada celebrates a monumental advocacy achievement: the Ontario Government's commitment of $13 million over three years in the 2024 Fall Economic Statement to support the Ontario Provincial ALS Program. To the ALS community, thank you. Together, we did this. This significant milestone was reached because of your collective action and tireless advocacy for change.

Had some great discussions at the ALS Society of Canada Queen’s Park Day of Action reception yesterday. Thank you to the neurologist who took the time to speak with me regarding the needs of patients and healthcare providers in this field.

Thank you, @TArmstrongNDP, for joining the ALS community yesterday to learn more about the current realities of Ontario’s health care system for people living with ALS, and the necessary action to address the complex, critical needs of the ALS community.
