With wildfire smoke affecting many regions across With wildfire smoke affecting many regions across Canada right now, we want to remind everyone, especially those living with asthma, to take extra care. Wildfire smoke isn’t just a concern near the flames. Smoke can travel thousands of kilometres and contains harmful pollutants, including fine particulate matter that can settle deep in the lungs and trigger or worsen asthma symptoms. If you live with asthma, it’s essential to take precautions! #wildfires #wildfireseason #asthma #wildfiresafety
This week, two of our incredible interns, Antonia This week, two of our incredible interns, Antonia Nizic and Julie Trinca, had the opportunity to engage with the local community on behalf of Asthma Canada – raising awareness about asthma and the support services that we provide. A huge thank you to Loblaw’s at Yonge & Eglinton for welcoming us and supporting this important outreach initiative. We’re grateful for this opportunity to engage directly with the community and share valuable information on asthma treatment, management, and support!
Asthma Canada extends our deepest thanks to Kimber Asthma Canada extends our deepest thanks to Kimberly Couvillon and her family, who recently visited our Toronto office. Kimberly bravely shared the powerful and heartbreaking story of her daughter, Amber, who lost her life to an asthma attack, to help raise awareness about the serious risks of asthma in Canada. As part of our Asthma Awareness Month campaign, Amber’s story touched hearts across the country and underscored why our work matters. In addition to sharing Amber’s story, Kimberly, her family, and Amber’s friends organized a fundraiser in her memory. The funds raised helped install a bench in the park where Amber suffered the asthma attack that tragically took her life, and the remaining donations were generously directed to support Asthma Canada’s vital work. We are incredibly grateful to Kimberly, her family, and the entire community who came together in Amber’s name. Her memory will continue to inspire change, and the support we've received will help transform lives through awareness, education, and advocacy.
