Walk to End ALS 
Volunteer Committee 
Member 
 


The ALS Society of Canada (ALS Canada) is currently recruiting volunteers to join 
ALS Canada’s Walk to End ALS Volunteer Committee. As a member of this group, you 
will work with ALS Canada staff and volunteers on sponsorship outreach, stewardship, 
community outreach, and event day volunteer recruitment in support of Walk to End 
ALS events taking place throughout month of June across Ontario. 

 
About ALS Canada 
A charitable organization that lives its values of accountability, collaboration, 
compassion, integrity, dynamic, and respect, the ALS Society of Canada is working to 
change what it means to live with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an unrelenting and 
currently terminal disease. 

 
Grounded in and informed by the Canadian ALS community, we respond to the urgent 
unmet need for life-changing treatments by investing in high-quality research that will 
fuel scientific discovery and by engaging industry, supporting increased clinical 
capacity, and advocating for equitable, affordable, and timely access to proven 
therapies. 

 
Responding to the tremendous need for current and credible ALS knowledge, 
awareness, and education, we empower Canadians affected by ALS to navigate the 
current realities of ALS, be informed consumers of ALS information, and advocate 
effectively for change. In Ontario, we provide direct community services to help people 
navigate ALS. 

 
Founded in 1977, we are a registered charity whose work is powered by generous 
donors who share our vision toward a world free of ALS. 
 
Walk to End ALS 
The Walk to End ALS is the largest volunteer-supported fundraiser for the ALS Society 
of Canada. It is a fun, family-friendly way to celebrate hope for a future without ALS, 
honor those we have loved and lost, and show support for the 4,000 Canadians and 
their families living with the disease. Funds raised through the event are essential in 
helping us to continue to provide community-based support to people and families 
living with the disease in Ontario and to ensure a strong pipeline of funding for the best 
of Canadian ALS research.
