Osteoporosis Canada is a national non-profit organization based in North York, Ontario, that serves Canadians affected by osteoporosis. It aims to educate, empower and support people in maintaining bone and muscle health, with a particular emphasis on reducing fragility fractures through risk reduction and treatment guidance. The organization traces a history as a pioneer in the field, having been among the first to develop guidelines for long-term treatment and exercise and to introduce fracture risk assessment. Its work includes assisting those already diagnosed and pursuing research and breakthroughs to improve overall quality of life. In November 2023, the charity appointed Dr. Sonia Singh as Chief Scientific Officer for fracture liaison services. Osteoporosis Canada maintains an online presence at osteoporosis.ca and provides a privacy policy to govern user information.
