About Us
The mission of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is: To
be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and
enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of
life.
Our
two major programs provide hope for the future through the
support of MS research into the cause, treatment and cure
of the disease and hope for today through our many services
that assist people with MS and their families.
Since
our founding in 1948, the core support of the MS Society
has been from tens of thousands of dedicated individuals,
companies and foundations in communities across Canada. The
Society receives almost no funding from government.
The
MS Society of Canada has a membership of 28,000. It is the
only national voluntary organization in Canada that supports
both MS research and services for people with MS and their
families. The MS Society is governed by a National Board
of Directors comprised of 27 volunteer members who are elected
annually. The seven regional divisions and nearly 120 chapters
are also governed by elected volunteer boards of directors.
Some
1,500 volunteers serve on MS Society national, division and
chapter boards and committees. An estimated 13,500 women
and men are volunteers for service programs, fund raising
events, public awareness campaigns and social action activities.
The head office of the MS Society is located in Toronto,
Ontario. Division offices are located in Dartmouth, Montreal,
Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
