Every breakthrough we celebrate this year began with people like you.
Together, we continue to push boundaries to create a future free from the pain of arthritis for the more than 6 million people in Canada living with the disease.
This year, your support accelerated groundbreaking research, expanded access to trusted programs and support, and helped us launch Arthritis Action Now: The Plan to End Arthritis in Canada, the first comprehensive roadmap to prevent, better treat and ultimately cure arthritis.
This year has laid the foundation for long-term change. It has put us on a path toward achieving better outcomes for people affected by arthritis and creating new hope for the millions of Canadians who deserve better.
Our Impact This Year
Knowledge. Discovery. Connection. Change. Your generosity helped move every part of the arthritis journey forward.
Living Well with Arthritis
Your donations help fund programs such as Arthritis Talks, Arthritis Line and our online resources, giving thousands of people across Canada access to expert advice, evidence-based information and practical tools so they can take control of their arthritis journey and live well.
Your generosity helps ensure no one has to face arthritis alone. For five years, Ana lived with intense pain in her hands, feet, shoulders and hips before finally being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Thanks to your support, Ana found a trusted partner in Arthritis Society Canada – one where reliable information, practical resources and a caring community gave her the knowledge and confidence to navigate her arthritis.
Every gift makes stories like Ana’s possible.
Building Community and Support
Thanks to you, we are creating opportunities for children, youth and adults to connect with others who share similar experiences. Our youth programs, Arthritis Connections, and Community Action Grants help foster welcoming communities where people can build lasting relationships, learn from one another and feel less alone.

Your donations help advance research that has the power to change what’s possible for people living with arthritis. From earlier diagnosis and better treatments to improved quality of life, every breakthrough brings us closer to a future where arthritis no longer limits millions of Canadians.
