**Who We Are:**

We're not your typical non-profit. We bring swagger to everything we do. That means we move with purpose in every step, driven by our commitment to putting our community at the centre of our work. Every day, we ask ourselves to see possibilities where others see limits. Because people with Parkinson's and care partners deserve better. Better care, more inclusive research and access to treatment and supports that make living well possible.

**Our Mission:**

Our mission is to empower and inspire people living with Parkinson's and their care partners to live fully and courageously. Through community support, advocacy, and research, we encourage others to see a diagnosis not as a dimming of light, but a spark for a new beginning.

**Our Culture & Values:**

Move forward. Together. On Mission.

Parkinson Canada is actively challenging the status quo and bringing a more dynamic, tech-forward, and outcomes-driven approach to the sector. We are a team that values clarity, accountability, and momentum, with a structured operating model that turns ideas into action. We are shifting to digital-first services, expanding national programs, and investing in research and innovation.

Parkinson Canada is firmly committed to diversity within its community and welcomes applications from racialized persons/persons of colour, Indigenous People of North America and the world, persons with disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ persons, and those who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. We are committed to providing equitable opportunities in employment and to providing a workplace which is free from discrimination and harassment. We are equally committed to providing an inclusive and accessible workplace.
