Core to our mission at Breakthrough T1D Canada is advocating to governments for equitable access to quality health care, medications and supplies, and for funding to search for cures.
We know that successful advocacy depends upon government decision-makers hearing the voices of our type 1 diabetes (T1D) community. This is why every other year we bring together our incredible community from across the country to share their personal stories of what it is like to live with T1D.
Your stories allow government officials to better understand the daily challenges of this relentless disease and the urgent need to accelerate progress towards cures.
T1D on the Hill 2026
Between May 3-5, 2026, dozens of people affected by T1D will come together in Ottawa along with Breakthrough T1D staff and volunteers to urge parliamentarians to stand with us as we ramp up our efforts to find cures for T1D and make them available to everyone who would benefit from them.
Watch this space for updates on how YOU can get involved and help make T1D on the Hill 2026 a success!
