NEW!!! Anaphylaxis (severe allergies) Awareness – in the news

The Canadian Anaphylaxis Initiative, supporting families across Canada caring for loved ones with severe allergies, issues a press release.

 

October 24 press release - Families discuss with MP next steps on Anaphylaxis Motion M-230

About Canadian Anaphylaxis Initiative

Canadian Anaphylaxis Initiative (CAI) is a network of Canadian families formed to raise greater awareness of the realities Canadians with severe allergies face every day. Their primary goal is to urge Parliamentarians and federal officials to respond to allergy concerns involving public awareness and education, food safety, transportation, and research; with an ultimate goal to reduce the risks of preventable anaphylactic attacks throughout Canada.

The CAI has made progress by working closely with MP Dean Allison in raising awareness with his Parliamentary colleagues. The Niagara West – Glanbrook MP has Motion M-230 in the House of Commons which reads: That in the opinion of the House, anaphylaxis is a serious concern for an increasing number of Canadians and the government should take the appropriate measures necessary to ensure these Canadians are able to maintain a high quality of life.
