All about Cystic Fibrosis Canada
We were founded by parents of children with cystic fibrosis in 1960. Since then, we’ve worked closely with the cystic fibrosis community to dramatically change the cystic fibrosis story, for the better. But we’re not done yet.
Help build lives without limits
Yes, we’ve come a long way. Many Canadians are living healthier, longer lives. Yet, there is no cure. Some still face an immense daily burden and others can’t benefit from the new treatments we helped bring to this country. We are working to that day when all Canadians with cystic fibrosis can live healthier, fuller lives with your help. Our 2024-27 Strategic Plan outlines how we’ll do it:
Influence health and financial support systems so that:
Drug access is improved and more equitable across the country
People have a reduced financial burden
Advance knowledge about CF in priority areas so that:
There is better understanding of how to manage or treat priority health issues
There are more clinical trials available for those with the greatest health need
Connect people and resources so that:
Emotional impacts of the disease are reduced
People with CF are informed about priority issues related to their disease
Drive action around needed care so that:
The burden of care, including mental health issues, is reduced
The clinical care model is adapted for current and future needs
Our mission
To act boldly for all Canadians living with cystic fibrosis so they can live longer, healthier, fuller lives.

To live fully, beyond the limits of cystic fibrosis.
Our values
