Welcome to the Ontario Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the Ontario, Canada Chapter of the FSHD Society! We are here to build a local community of patients, family and friends, and help them connect and advocate for themselves and each other. Our hope for the future is to find a cure – Until then, we hope to bring a greater awareness to the community, and to help improve the quality of life of all those affected.
The FSHD Canada Foundation has partnered with the FSHD Society to both support and grow the FSHD Communities across Canada - with the combined goal to deliver treatments and a cure for FSH Muscular Dystrophy.
