Since 1948, MS Canada has been dedicated to improving the lives of Canadians affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). Anyone can be diagnosed, and Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world – more than 90,000 Canadians are living with the disease, and an average of 12 people are diagnosed every day. Driven by the vision of a world free of MS, MS Canada works with researchers, donors, partners, volunteers, and people living with MS to bring about positive change. The organization is committed to improving lives of Canadians and supports high-quality research that aims to end MS tomorrow.
