This is such incredible news for the Ontario ALS community.! Thank you!
Today, ALS Canada celebrates a monumental advocacy achievement: the Ontario Government's commitment of $13 million over three years in the 2024 Fall Economic Statement to support the Ontario Provincial ALS Program.
To the ALS community, thank you. Together, we did this. This significant milestone was reached because of your collective action and tireless advocacy for change.

A 75 yo M is brought in by his wife bc he is forgetful & “continues to drop things.”
She notes he's increasingly tearful, forgetful, and has an odd movement in his right hand.
MRI, EEG, LP were all normal.
In the room he keeps doing this with his face:

I appreciated meeting @TArmstrongNDP at Queens Park yesterday. On behalf of my patients and their families living with ALS, I hope that I can count on her and the other MPPs to financially support ALS multidisciplinary clinics in Ontario and equipment to improve patient lives.
Thank you, @TArmstrongNDP, for joining the ALS community yesterday to learn more about the current realities of Ontario’s health care system for people living with ALS, and the necessary action to address the complex, critical needs of the ALS community.
