The association was established in 1951 by a group of parents who were concerned with the lack of treatment facilities for their children who were affected by cerebral palsy. It was this group that was responsible for the creation of the South Cerebral Palsy Clinic. This clinic provided physiotherapy, speech therapy, and other forms of treatment. The ECPA was responsible for bringing to the attention of the Alberta government the need for expanded treatment services. This resulted in the establishment of the Glenrose Hospital in 1967. Although the association has changed over the years the goal has remain the same, to provide assistance to those affected by Cerebral Palsy. Today we continue to help our members live a better, more productive life in our community.

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.
