Our Mission

We empower, educate, and support British Columbians living with epilepsy and their families, and fund research to find a cure.

About BC Epilepsy Society

Since 1959, the BC Epilepsy Society has been committed to improving the quality of life for the tens of thousands of British Columbians living with epilepsy. We try to achieve this through: 1) The provision of resources such as our lending library, brochures, newsletters, and medical information sheets, 2) Hosting educational workshops and lectures, and our Partners in Teaching program that takes seizure first aid and epilepsy awareness into our school system, 3) Direct services such as our support groups and the financial subsidy offered to families to send their kids to the accessible Easter Seals camps, and 4) Funding the best available epilepsy researchers in British Columbia.
