APR 11, 2017 — This morning, CanLyme, in partnership with MP Elizabeth May, MP Tracey Ramsey, and Senator Kelvin Ogilvie hosted a non-partisan press conference, joined by Dr. Melanie Wills, Dr. Liz Zubek and Rossana Magnotta, to explain why the federal draft Lyme Disease Framework MUST be rewritten with input from ALL stakeholders including Canlyme experts.

In addition, there is a link to watch the full press conference as well.

This is a perfect introduction to our journey to Ottawa to bring the voices of 40,000 Canadians detailing the human suffering which is resulting from outdated and inadequate Lyme policy in Canada.

We have had a tremendous response from MPs to our request, on short notice, for face to face meetings, and we are thrilled that we have 10 MP meetings booked in the next two days. 

This Petition has been so instrumental in raising awareness and helping our Government understand just how many Canadians are concerned about and affected by Lyme Disease. Please continue to encourage other Canadians to sign, comment and share this Petition: http://bit.ly/2lfBuNL
