Asthma Canada, formerly the Asthma Society of Canada, is a non-profit charity dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and health for people living with asthma and associated allergies. It has a threefold focus on education, research, and advocacy, to continue improving lives for all those with asthma. Asthma Canada represents over 3.8 million Canadians living with asthma, along with their caregivers and all others impacted by asthma, and also provides resources for people suffering from allergies. The Asthma Society of Canada was founded in 1973 to fill a need for an organisation that was solely dedicated to relieving those suffering from asthma. The organisation was a coalition of asthma community members and leading Canadian researchers with the purpose of using science and community support to help people with asthma lead better lives. At the time of the foundation, a Professional Advisory Committee was established by Dr. Cecil Collins-Williams of the Toronto General Hospital, Dr. Irvin Broder of the Gage Research Institute, and Dr. Harold Williams of the Crippled Children's Centre. Asthma Canada continues to be driven by the scientific community, ensuring that all the information they publish comes from valid sources and peer-reviewed studies. Once it attained non-profit status, the ASC focused primarily on education. Its name was formally changed to Asthma Canada in 2017, and they have broadened their focus to include support services, research, and advocacy. More information...
