Canadians were told in 2009 that "in six months, this [CCSVI] will all blow over." Well, it hasn't thanks to the passion and energy of the CCSVI community. We are a wonderful example of “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” (Margaret Mead, 1984).

As an all-volunteer organization, National CCSVI Board members have been working really hard to bring these speakers and conference to Canada. It is a lot of work, but we can already feel the excitement building.

This conference is the biggest yet in Canada and we need a strong show of support to make sure CCSVI stays in the news, in peoples' minds, and in government and researchers' priorities. Please attend if you can; this information is important for your health and/or the health of those you love. Encourage others to attend, and share this schedule with friends, MS and other health groups, health care practitioners and agencies, government representatives, and the media. Thank you for helping us make this event a huge success!
