Losing a loved one to #ALS is devastating – it takes time to grieve and to cope with their death. We are pleased to see this important legislation be passed extending bereavement leave for caregivers and loved ones. @Jeneroux

June is #ALSAwareness Month. #ALS is a devastating disease that affects the lives of thousands of people across Canada.
I encourage you to get out on June 20 for a virtual Walk to End ALS. This June, let’s come together to show our support and work towards a future without ALS.
There are more ALS trials now than ever before. Canada is one of the top countries in the world for ALS trials, with more than 17 either actively ongoing or starting later this year. #StrikeOutALS@ALSCanada
June is ALS Awareness Month - may you find an opportunity to learn, to support and to make change for the ALS community. Together, a future without ALS. @ALSCanada#ALSAwarenessMonth#AFutureWithoutALS
Lou Gehrig Day @LG4Day is here. Wow. As someone who cares deeply about seeing ALS more effectively treated ASAP, this means so much. And I want to say thank you to all the amazing advocates who made it happen. And to @MLB for hearing their voice.
Did you know that 40% of the funds raised through the #WalktoEndALS support ALS research in Canada?
@BrainCanada will generously be matching the research funds raised.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks as we profile students from ALS research labs right here in #Toronto!

Very excited for the 2021 @ALSCanada Research Forum. an opportunity for researchers and clinicians to share their work, engagement with people affected by ALS- Community Fellows attending and sharing perspectives. It may be virtual, but it is all very real! #AFuturewithoutALS
Today is our annual ALS Canada Research Forum. I’m so pleased this year that the research community will be joined by a group of 13 community fellows & others directly affected by ALS who have registered independently. We need to continually evolve & strengthen these connections.
Thank you to our platinum, gold and silver sponsors for the 2021 virtual ALS Canada Research Forum for their generous support of a two-day event that convenes the brightest minds in Canadian #ALS research to learn, share knowledge and progress toward #aFutureWithoutALS.
Ford — isolating at his late mother’s home after an office exposure — now acknowledging that it’s nice to be able to isolate at home and still get paid. His government has been asked to develop paid sick leave for months. He says they’re working on it but no more details here.
