Help us #MakeFoodAllergyCount with the federal government. Together, with the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CSACI), we have submitted our 2021 pre-budget submission and need your support to help elevate the conversation to the next level.
Please write to your Member of Parliament by September 4th and ask them to support our pre-budget submission and encourage the Standing Committee on Finance to invite Food Allergy Canada and the CSACI to present an oral testimony during the consultation hearings. Send your MP an email/letter.
