Canadian Lung Association - National

Our Mission

Breathing is what unites us, what inspires us and it's what keeps our community of physicians, scientists, clinicians, educators, administrators, volunteers and donors so committed—whether it’s searching for cures to lung diseases, teaching kids about the dangers of tobacco, or fighting for clean air.

The Canadian Lung Association is the leading organization in Canada working to promote lung health and prevent and manage lung disease. We do this by funding vital research, pushing for improved treatments and smarter policies and supporting patients and their families in managing their health.

Every day, we roll up our sleeves and grapple with the challenges of everything from asthma to the environment. We are the go-to resource for patients, their families, caregivers, health professionals and the general community.

At a national level, we provide trusted and reliable information online, lead advocacy and awareness efforts and a national research program.

Our mission, to improve lung health and save lives through research, education, and advocacy.
