Engage. Empower. Encourage.

We need your help… and so does your OI community!

 

One of our most important goals is to help establish Regional Hubs to support OI communities in every part of Canada. A Regional Hub will bring the OI community together and serve as an important resource for OI individuals and their families. We all know how scary those early days are when a person first learns that they or a loved one has been diagnosed. With an active Regional Hub, we can help them. We can provide information about regional and local OI resources. We can help them––and each other––with kindness, support and invaluable words of wisdom gained through experience.  And, we can reach out to the broader community to enhance awareness of OI and enlist their financial support.

You can make a difference!

To build these critical networks, we need Regional Hub leaders across Canada––from British Columbia to Atlantic Canada. We hope you can be one of them!
