Back in 1983 a mother was talking with her son's doctor. The diagnosis was epilepsy. That mom was very troubled by the news. Epilepsy - what was it, what would happen, would her son be ok? Searching for support and information, the mom found little. Something was needed in Newfoundland and Labrador to provide people with epilepsy and their families with the help they needed. And so it was that this mom decided to gather together a small team of volunteers, and from their work and dedication Epilepsy Newfoundland and Labrador was born. While small at first, ENL soon began to grow, offering information and services to those in need. Bridging the gap between the medical and the social realities of living with epilepsy. Over 20 years later, ENL offers a wide variety of programs and services available to its members and to the public. ENL remains committed to working for awareness, understanding and assistance.

Few people know the facts about epilepsy, but 26 Canadians are diagnosed with it everyday. In fact, one in 100 Canadians lives with epilepsy. It is the second most common neurological disorder, after migraines. Even so, many people feel isolated or misunderstood because seizures are not openly discussed. As the province’s voice of epilepsy, Epilepsy Ontario is here to change that. Your contribution can bring hope. We rely on our generous supporters to provide: 1. client services and research support 2. information and educational resources 3. provincial programs like summer camp & scholarships for kids with epilepsy 4. advocacy initiatives When a child is diagnosed with epilepsy, parents turn to us for information. When the epilepsy community raises concerns, we engage local and provincial leaders to find solutions. Epilepsy Ontario touches the lives of countless people and their families. You can make a lasting difference. Please consider making a donation today.

Over the past 50 years, our facilities have continued to grow as that vision expanded.

The Canadian Paediatric Foundation (CPF) was established in 1985 as a charitable organization to help the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) fulfill its mission. Funds raised helped the CPS develop health information for Canadian families, provide education for those caring for children and youth and support advocacy on child health issues. Much has changed since the CPF was founded in 1985. What is unchanged however is our commitment to the health and well-being of children and youth in Canada and abroad. In 2005, the foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary. Part of that celebration included a new name and identity: Healthy Generations: Building a Future for Children and Youth.
