Dear Listfriends: Although the North American traffic on this list is skewed a bit more toward American groups and resources, there are a number of Canadian associations which can also provide Movement Disorder Clinic/Specialist referrals and information on local support groups. According to information provided by the PFC (Parkinson Foundation of Canada), there are approximately ten Movement Disorder Clinics in Canada alone. To contact the PFC, you may either write or call (in Canada only) Parkinson Foundation of Canada 310 Bay St. #710 Toronto Ontario Canada M5H 272 1-800-565-3000 (English) 1-800-720-1307 (French) There are other groups in Canada which may also be worth a try. Parkinson's Society of Ottawa-Carleton Ottawa Civic Hospital 1053 Carling Avenue Ottawa, Ontario KIY 4E9 The Parkinson's Society of Southern Alberta 600 Sloane Square 5920 - IA STreet, SW Calgary, Alberta T2H 0G3 416- 258-2595 Victoria Parkinson's Association Vancouver, 1-800-668-3330 We hope this information helps - and if there are more centers and associations, we'd love to hear about them.
