About this resource

Muscular Dystrophy Canada provides accessible information and educational support to the neuromuscular community across the country. We offer opportunities to build a community of support through presentations like Muscle Facts, conferences, network meetings, educational sessions, and community activities like the Walk for Muscular Dystrophy. We raise awareness of neuromuscular disorders, provide information on best practices to prevent complications and disseminate knowledge on new treatments, the latest research and current clinical trials.

Across Canada each year, we answer thousands of phone calls and emails and provide support and information to individuals affected by neuromuscular disorders, their family members and caregivers along with healthcare professionals. We also receive requests for referral information and for group presentations.
Outreach presentations are geared toward health care professionals and community agencies. The purpose of these presentations is to raise awareness of programs and services Muscular Dystrophy Canada offers.
