Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to reaching every Canadian affected by a brain tumour with support, education and information and to funding brain tumour research. Thousands of people affected by brain tumours find emotional support and comfort through Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, while gaining a better understanding and knowledge of their disease.

Specific initiatives include:

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada was established in London in 1982 by Steve Northey, who lost his eight-year-old daughter Kelly to a brain tumour, Dr. Rolando Del Maestro, a neurosurgeon, and Pamela Del Maestro, a neuroscience nurse, to help improve the quality of life of those affected.

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a founding member and an active participant of the North American Brain Tumour Coalition (NABTC) and the Canadian Alliance of Brain Tumour Organizations (CABTO). These organizations focus on raising awareness of brain tumours, advocating for positive change, and supporting brain tumour research.

Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is funded solely through generous contributions from individuals, corporations, organizations, employee groups and special events.
