At the founding meeting in July 2003 in Montreal, Quebec, members from brain injury associations from coast to coast, representing survivors, their families, and professionals identified the need to create the Brain Injury Association of Canada.
Our mandate is to improve the quality of life for all Canadians affected by acquired brain injury and promote it’s prevention. As well, BIAC is dedicated to facilitate post-trauma research, education and advocacy in partnership with national, provincial/territorial and regional associations and other stakeholders.
BIAC is incorporated as a national charitable organization under the Canada Corporations Act and Canada Revenue Agency.
