2024 was a year of significant progress on one of the most critical health challenges of our time—brain injuries and their long-term effects.
This year Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada, in collaboration with our partners, made significant impacts to the discourse and education on brain injuries, and advanced real changes to policies.
Here’s how:
• Met with government and appeared at the federal Standing Committee on Health to advance policies and awareness around CTE and brain health.
• Made important advancements in brain research, contributing to the understanding and prevention of long-term brain injuries.
•Provided essential support to individuals and families like Brendan Hynes and Shane Nedohin affected by brain injuries through our HelpLine and Project Enlist Canada’s Support Line, delivering guidance and hope when it’s needed most.
As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed in our mission of make lasting change. Together, we can build a future where no one faces the challenges of brain injuries alone.
Protecting Canadians brain health should be everyone’s concern. If you’re interested in learning more or joining us in this important work, visit https://lnkd.in/eDNrkjb7.

In that moment I was broken. I felt invisible and that no one was listening, no one could help me. No matter how hard I tried to swim, I couldn't make any progress. I was just barely keeping my head above water. I think that I would have had a much quicker recovery process if I had reached out earlier. The loss of a child is so devastating that it's hard to put it into words. And they don't want other people to understand it. Because I would never want you to go through it. I've made the decision that I was going to end. Life that day. And that's why I'm here at Chem H in Toronto, the most cutting edge lab in the world on brain imaging. Tim Pfizer and his team recognized that the system would not. We believe in this initiative because we want to see our kids participate in sports without the risk of severe life altering brain injuries. Here, but it was our job to deliver on. The potential that she had as a result of the efforts of the Stringer family, not only athletes but also military personnel, accident survivors, violent survivors, the elderly and especially children have all been positively impacted. Knowing that someone believed me, that someone saw me, has given me hope. That has given veterans hope. We want to help our Canadian Armed Forces service women and men return home to their loved ones with the health and dignity they deserve.
