What's New
The National GR Committee (Staff and volunteers) attended Question Period on Wednesday May 6th at the House of Commons in Ottawa. The Ottawa Chapter had staff, volunteers and youth pinning carnations on all MPs as they headed in to questions period. Rick Casson MP for Lethbridge also helped with pinning carnations. Click on the photo links to see photos of him pinning carnations on other Alberta MPs. |

It was wonderful to see a sea of red carnations across the house and have the MS Society acknowledged by the House.

that Albertans with MS can enjoy the same rights and benefits
as other citizens of our prosperous province. The Government & Community
Relations department is responsible for these efforts.
Government
Relations efforts
are aimed at improving legislation, policies, practices, opportunities
and/or attitudes within different levels of government that
impact people affected by MS.
Community
Relations efforts
are aimed at improving policies, practices, opportunities
and/or attitudes within the non-governmental sector — businesses,
corporations, and non-governmental organizations — that
impact people affected by MS.
The
MS Society has been working collaboratively with all levels
of government and many community organizations on several important
issues. We encourage you to read about the initiatives that
we've been involved in to ensure that individuals affected
