The Huntington Society of Canada is a not-for-profit charitable organization based in Waterloo, Ontario, focused on supporting Canadians affected by Huntington disease (HD). It raises funds to deliver counseling services for individuals and families living with HD and to support medical research aimed at delaying or stopping the disease’s progression, while collaborating with health and social services professionals to improve care. The organization positions itself within the non-profit sector dedicated to neurological conditions, leveraging volunteer networks and community engagement to enhance quality of life for those impacted by HD. HD is described as a fatal hereditary brain disorder, with a 50% risk to children of an affected parent, and currently no cure, underscoring the society’s emphasis on support, education, and research funding. The Society operates from its Waterloo location and serves a national audience across Canada, including regional centers and online resources, reflecting its role as a national hub for HD-related services and information.
