Mission Statement

The Anaphylaxis Network of Canada is dedicated to enabling its members to live safely with life-threatening allergies by sharing information, providing support, promoting education and advocating for the needs of individuals and families living with anaphylaxis.

Objectives

R.A.I.S.E.…saves lives, promotes understanding and enables the anaphylactic person to live a normal life.

Approximately 600,000 Canadians may be affected by potentially life-threatening allergic reactions and, in recent years, anaphylaxis has increased dramatically among children.

SAVING LIVES is a priority. The Network's objective is to be a strong and collective voice for people with anaphylaxis in Canada by raising awareness through education and information. We encourage cooperation and promote understanding of life-threatening allergies. We are an effective voice in lobbying for a safer environment in schools, on airlines and in restaurants. We operate at the community level to provide a greater knowledge base of safe practices in everyday situations. The Anaphylaxis Network maintains an information phone line (416-785-5666) and has a Speakers Bureau for anaphylaxis presentations.
