Your support allows people who otherwise wouldn't have access to benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation
The number of people in Canada who are living with lung disease and who could benefit from a pulmonary rehabilitation program is far higher than the available spots in an in-person program. Transportation and location can create additional barriers. Our BREATHE Better | Stay STRONG virtual pulmonary rehabilitation program is a free, online program that anyone can participate in, from the comfort of home and at their own pace.
Your support helps children get a full night's sleep
Sleep apnea in children can cause daytime sleepiness, fatigue, poor growth, heart problems, delays in proper brain development, bed wetting and behavior problems both at home and at school. Unfortunately, pediatric CPAP machines can cost more than $2,000. We offer grants to support families who otherwise couldn’t afford the machines and equipment their child needs.
Your support helps makes homes safe places to breathe
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. Radon exposure is estimated to be the cause of 16% of lung cancers. Through the Lungs Matter program, we offer grants to cover the cost of home radon mitigation for low-income Canadians with lung disease who are living with high radon levels.
Your support helps us create a smoke-free generation
Youth are still smoking cigarettes, and even more youth are vaping. It's important that they know the true risks and consequences of these choices. Lungs are for Life! is an engaging, evidence-based resource for educators to help students learn more about about the dangers of smoking and vaping so they can make healthy and informed decisions.
Your support is an investment in the future of lung research
Our research funding competitions and training workshops help launch the careers of the next generation of respiratory researchers in Canada.
Your support gives a place to turn for answers to important questions about lung health
If you have questions about your lung health, we're here to help. Our Lung Health Help Line allows you to speak to a certified respiratory educator and get the answers you need, when you need them.
Your support makes it possible for us to advocate for the lung health of everyone across Canada
We ensure Canada’s national voice for lung health is heard across the country and around the world. We advocate for cleaner air, the reduction of traffic-related air pollution and to protect the lungs of everyone across Canada.
