ALS Action Canada

In September, MP Peter Fragiskatos, Chair of the ALS All-Party Caucus, joined Matthew Brown in delivering opening remarks at a powerful event that brought together advocates, federal leaders, and NHL legends to advance the fight against ALS. The video of their remarks captures Peter’s incredible dedication to this cause and his unwavering support for ALS advocacy. Peter’s leadership has been instrumental in reviving the ALS All-Party Caucus, transforming it into a vital platform for collaborative action and meaningful change. His commitment to rallying support from across the political spectrum has reinvigorated efforts to prioritize ALS research, care, and advocacy at the federal level. The event featured key federal representatives, including the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, and MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith. They joined NHL icons such as Wayne Gretzky, Darryl Sittler, NHL Alumni Association President and Executive Director Glenn Healy, Toronto Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan, Laurie Boschman, Edmonton Oilers CEO of Hockey Operations Jeff Jackson, Ottawa Senators Senior Vice President Dave Poulin, and NHL Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. Their collective voices emphasized the critical need for increased attention to ALS research, treatment, and care. This significant gathering on Parliament Hill was widely recognized as a landmark moment uniting sports icons and policymakers to drive action for those impacted by ALS. Looking ahead, ALS Action Canada and the federal ALS caucus will convene a follow-up meeting at the end of January 2025. This session will build on the momentum generated in September and focus on tangible steps to bring about meaningful change. Together, ALS advocates remain steadfast in their commitment to turn awareness into action. Stay tuned for updates on how you can support this vital cause!

This holiday season, we reflect on the strength and generosity of our community in the fight against ALS. 💙 Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season filled with hope and gratitude. 🎄 #MerryChristmas #ALSActionCanada #HopeForALS

More than 3,000 Canadians are living with ALS, a reality that inspires courageous advocacy and groundbreaking initiatives. On Parliament Hill, ALS Action Canada brought together Canadians with ALS, their families, and supporters, including NHL alumni, to champion awareness and research funding. One powerful voice is former NHL player Mark Kirton, who launched the ALS Super Fund. In less than a year, this incredible initiative has raised over $1 million for ALS awareness and research. MP Peter Fragiskatos, as Chair of the ALS All-Party Caucus, shared his commitment to advocating for the 3,000+ Canadians, like Matthew Brown and Mark Kirton, who continue to fight ALS every day. This cross-party effort unites us in hope and determination to make a difference. Together, let’s amplify these voices and support transformative action. 💪 #ALSActionCanada #ALSSuperFund #ALSAwareness
