WEBINAIRE : Les crises d’asthme peuvent se produire rapidement et de manière inattendue; c’est la raison pour laquelle comprendre maintenant comment reconnaître les signes précurseurs et y répondre rapidement est si important.

Asthme Canada sera accompagné de la Dre Andréanne Côté, qui parlera de la gestion de l’asthme et de la prévention des crises d’asthme. Nous accueillerons également la patiente partenaire d’Asthme Canada, Rachel Anne Normand, d’Ottawa, qui partagera son histoire sur la façon dont une crise d’asthme a mené au diagnostic de son fils, Jacob.

Ensemble, nous couvrirons :
💙 Ce qu’est l’asthme et pourquoi il est important de bien le contrôler
💙 Pourquoi un plan d’action contre l’asthme est essentiel pour une prise en charge sécuritaire
💙 Comment reconnaître une aggravation de l’asthme et quoi faire en cas de crise
💙 Des conseils pratiques pour mieux gérer l’asthme au quotidien et en toute confiance

Que vous viviez avec l’asthme, que vous preniez soin de quelqu’un qui en est atteint, ou que vous souhaitiez tout simplement en apprendre davantage, ce webinaire vous offrira des outils pratiques et des conseils pour mieux comprendre l’asthme et réagir avec assurance en cas de crise d’asthme.

As part of our Asthma Awareness Month campaign, we're excited to announce that we’ve updated our Asthma Action Plan. 💙

The new version is designed to make it easier to recognize your symptoms, understand which medications to take and when, and have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider. 💪

The plan is available in both English and French and can be downloaded in colour or black and white.

A sincere thank you to Josh Rheaume for co-facilitating, and to all of our advocates, Board members, staff, and volunteers who joined us and made the day so meaningful: Tristan Michelle Joseph, Georgia Williams, Rachel Anne Normand, Amanda Calzolaio, Carla Rudberg-Chin, Adrienne Lam, Jaqueline Murdoch, Renay Lambart, Phillip Craig, Jeffrey Beach, Jenna Reynolds, Divya Iyer, Zoe Ullyett, Matthew Moolecherry, Zhen Liu, Heidi Forman, Denise Mak.

The session was a great success, and we are excited to build on what we learned as we continue to strengthen patient advocacy and bring more voices into our work.

A sincere thank you to NDP Leader Marit Stiles and MPP France Gélinas for taking the time to meet with Asthma Canada and patient advocate Josh Rheaume to discuss the issues affecting people living with asthma.


We had a productive conversation about practical solutions, including the critical role of Certified Respiratory Educators (CREs) in primary care and through Asthma Canada’s Asthma & Allergy HelpLine.

We look forward to continuing these discussions with Members of Provincial Parliament later today at our World Asthma Day Reception.
