Government
and Community Relations
The
Alberta & Northwest Territories Division is committed to being an agent for positive
change for people affected by MS. Our goal is to ensure
that Albertans with MS can enjoy the same rights and benefits
as other citizens of our prosperous province. The Government & Community
Relations department is responsible for these efforts.
Government
Relations efforts
are aimed at improving legislation, policies, practices, opportunities
and/or attitudes within different levels of government that
impact people affected by MS.
Community
Relations efforts
are aimed at improving policies, practices, opportunities
and/or attitudes within the non-governmental sector — businesses,
corporations, and non-governmental organizations — that
impact people affected by MS.
The
MS Society has been working collaboratively with all levels
of government and many community organizations on several important
issues.
