The Lung Association's Annual Residential Canvas begins Monday, June 2

Saskatoon- May 26 - June is fast approaching and with it comes the Lung Association's annual door-to-door campaign taking place June 2 “ 4.

 

Thousands of volunteer canvassers will be hitting the streets in communities across Saskatchewan, inviting people to donate to the Lung Association's Asthma and Allergies campaign.  Asthma is a serious disease and one of the leading causes of emergency room visits in children aged one to four.

World-renowned researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are making progress in the fight against this disease, which affects over 2.2 million Canadians.  When a canvasser knocks at your door, please give generously!

Please review our website at www.sk.lung.ca to learn more about the Lung Association or visit www.sk.lung.ca/donate if you would like to make a secure, online donation.

The Lung Association is committed to protecting the lung health of the people of Saskatchewan.  With the generous support of the public and the help of our volunteers, we have seen many advances against lung disease and have developed programs and services to meet the needs of our residents.

You will find the Lung Association, the premier source for respiratory health initiatives in the province, active in your community conducting programs on asthma, COPD and sleep apnea, providing training for health professionals, delivering health education in schools and facilitating patient support groups and lobbying for clean air.
