Asthma Canada is proud to partner with @opheacanad Asthma Canada is proud to partner with @opheacanada on Creating Asthma Friendly Environments, a collection of free educational resources designed to help schools create safe and supportive environments for children and youth with asthma. The resources include tools and guidance for teachers and school staff, including an e-learning module covering asthma triggers, symptoms, medications, recognizing worsening asthma and how to support students with asthma at school. Creating an asthma-friendly environment can help children with asthma stay active, participate fully in school and develop the skills they need to manage their asthma with confidence. With the school year underway, it’s a great time for teachers and school staff to refresh their asthma knowledge and make sure they’re prepared to support students who may need help.

Last week, Jenna Reynolds, Vice President of Missi Last week, Jenna Reynolds, Vice President of Mission at Asthma Canada, represented Asthma Canada at the Global Allergy & Airways Patient Platform (GAAPP) Summit and Annual General Meeting. The Summit brought together more than 150 patient leaders and respiratory and immunology organizations from around the world to share ideas, learn from one another and work towards better care and advocacy for people living with respiratory conditions. Jenna had the opportunity to showcase some of the work happening at Asthma Canada, including our leadership of the Lung Vaccination Working Group, a coalition working to improve vaccine uptake and access for people with chronic lung conditions. She also presented Asthma Canada’s new AI-powered asthma education chatbot, Butterfly, which was developed in partnership with GAAPP. It was an inspiring couple of days filled with learning, sharing and strengthening connections across the global respiratory health community. 💙 @gaapporg @sanders_riley #GAAPPSummit2026 #AsthmaCanada #RespiratoryHealth #Asthma #GlobalHealth #PatientAdvocacy
Every year, as children head back to school, we se Every year, as children head back to school, we see a rise in asthma attacks and hospital visits. The September Asthma Peak typically reaches its highest point around the third week of September. There are a several reasons for this; more respiratory viruses, seasonal allergens, changes in routine and, after a summer break, asthma medication routines can sometimes slip. Our free Back to School with Asthma Digital Pack has practical resources to help parents, teachers and children understand asthma, prepare for the school year and help keep asthma under control.
