This event reflects the ongoing efforts to become a better, more accessible, and more inclusive society and offers the possibility to discuss legal aspects related to access to justice, and advancing equity, diversity and inclusion within the legal profession. The presentation will cover both the medical and legal aspects of MCS, including lived experience of the condition and human rights specific to each province across Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event stems from the Empowering Community and Removal of Barriers (ECRoB) project, funded in part by the Government of Canada\u2019s Partnership Programs, Disability Component. One of the primary objectives of the ECRoB project is to build capacity and inclusion by educating people who experience the disability of MCS on their rights and to increase their access to legal support and other information to effectively manage their disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aseq-ehaq.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Workshop-Details-BC-Jan-30-2024.pdf\"><u><strong>Workshop Details<\/strong><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aseq-ehaq.ca\/pdf\/Speakers-BC-Workshop.pdf\"><u><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link to register :<strong><br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZEqcu-uqD8qH9PLLtYD-vBW7_vPbiqp9mmv\"><u>https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tZEqcu-uqD8qH9PLLtYD-vBW7_vPbiqp9mmv<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcc6<strong>January 22, 24, and 26, 2024<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medical Aspects of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>A disability with growing prevalence<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasing prevalence of many chronic diseases, their exacerbations and comorbidity are adding to the burden on health care.

MCS in Canada has been largely understudied in the scientific literature.<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) over the last two decades (2000-2020) has been carried out to determine the prevalence rate of MCS among Canadians.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis examined Canadians across various provinces of residence, gender, age, and those with comorbidities with physical chronic conditions were examined.<\/p>\n<p>The data from this report supports the increasing prevalence of MCS in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop will provide an overview of the prevalence of MCS in Canada and aims to inform public health authorities, health professionals, legal practitioners, and researchers.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to seeing you at the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n<article class=\"event\">\n<p class=\"event__date\"><i class=\"fas fa-calendar-alt\"><\/i>May 10, 2023 at 2:00 pm<\/p>\n<div class=\"event__details\">\n<p><b>disABILITY: A workshop on how to accommodate people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Please register for the date of your choice at the following link:&nbsp;<u><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/8aghrEaTsqvLxQnH9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/8aghrEaTsqvLxQnH9<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n<p><b>Empowering Community and Removal of Barriers (ECRoB) Project<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Environmental Health Association of Quebec invites you to attend a workshop on Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS).

Similar data also shows that the prevalence is increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the continued denial by some people, we can now clearly see the devastating effects of climate change caused by pollution. Medical science is telling us that pollution can also contribute to the development of multiple chronic diseases, one of which is becoming sensitized to common chemicals. This condition is increasing in prevalence, yet society\u2019s lack of understanding and acceptance has resulted in many people suffering discrimination, stigma, and isolation.
