Multiple Sclerosis Society
The Mission of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is to be a leader in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life.
We will have achieved our mission when:
- The cause and cure for Multiple Sclerosis are identified in the shortest possible time.
- People with MS have the opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of life.
- The Canadian public is fully aware of MS, the MS
Society, and what it does.
- All necessary activities of the MS Society are adequately funded.
- The volunteers and staff of the chapters, division, and national organization are working together effectively towards our common mission.
