Our Purpose
A National Forum for Collaboration

This group serves as a national forum for collaboration and strategic direction, taking a coordinated approach to improving brain injury outcomes across all provinces and territories. The group's recommendations will be informed by and propose both Canadian and global best practices in brain injury awareness, prevention, and treatment.
