A Pathway to a Symptom Free Future
Our vision is a future without asthma.
Our mission is to help people living with asthma lead healthy lives through education, advocacy, and research.
Asthma Canada’s 2025–2030 Strategic Plan, A Pathway to a Symptom-Free Future, was developed through a thoughtful, inclusive process—shaped by national surveys, focus groups, expert input, and conversations with people living with asthma.
Guided by a dedicated task force and diverse lived experiences, the plan reflects what Canada’s asthma community needs and sets the stage for greater impact in the years ahead.
Why Our Work Matters
Amber's Story
Amber was just 14 years old when she tragically lost her life to an asthma attack.
Her story, shared by her mom Kim, is a powerful reminder that asthma is a serious, life-threatening disease — and why the work of Asthma Canada is so vital.
Josh's Story
Josh lived with severe asthma his entire life, which often held him back from doing the things he loved.
His story shows that with determination and the right support, it’s possible to gain control of your asthma and live life to the fullest.
