HME Mobility & Accessibility recognized for their continued support of the ALS Society of BC! HME has been working with the ALS Society of BC for 7 years now. W...e have sponsored the WALK to End ALS in BC and the Yukon for the past 2 years, and are continuing our sponsorship this year. After looking across the province and carefully considering charities, to see which one benefited patients the most, we chose to sponsor the ALS Society of BC, says Robert. We continue our sponsorship since Cam and I believe that ALS BC does great work, and we feel comfortable working with the staff. We are both honored to be receiving this award from such a highly regarded organization - an organization that we truly believe in, says Robert. We will continue to work alongside ALS BC, and hopefully one day find a cure for ALS. Robert and Cameron, both have excellent business ethics and sense of philanthropy, says Wendy Toyer, Executive Director of the ALS Society of BC. I am thrilled to have them receive this award to recognize their dedication to ALS BC. The purpose of this award is to evaluate and recognize exceptional programs that aimed to educate and increase public awareness of ALS during the previous 12 months. Public awareness activities may include liaisons with the media, co-coordinating public awareness displays and speaking to the public or other organizations about ALS. The awards night for the ALS Society of BC was held on April 2, 2019 at Quilchena Golf & Country Club, to recognize the involvement of volunteers and donors in supporting the cause. #ALS #ALSSocietyofBC See more

The ALS Society of BC provides direct support to people living with ALS in BC & the Yukon. The society is proud that these services are provided with low admini...stration costs. This is made possible with the support of the hundreds of volunteers located throughout BC and the Yukon who work with staff to raise funds, awareness and to provide support programs. February 1-3, 2019, the society hosted an All-Volunteer Conference to provide training and a networking opportunity for volunteers who are part of TEAM ALS BC & Yukon. The new branding for the ALS signature fundraising event; Walk to End ALS was unveiled at the conference. Dr David Taylor, Vice President of Research ALS Canada was on hand to provide insight into how research funds are invested and to provide an update on ALS research in Canada. Other sessions were: The Power of Laughter presented by David C. Jones; Supporting People who are Grieving by Miki Flynn, RCC and Headline Media by Clive Jackson.
