Do you want to make a difference in the lives of Canadians affected by Parkinson\u2019s disease? If so, join our Parkinson\u2019s Ambassador Network<\/strong> and play an important role in the upcoming federal election.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly you can present that personal perspective, whether you live with Parkinson\u2019s or you have family or friends with the disease,\u201d says Joyce Barretto, co-Chair of Parkinson Society Canada\u2019s National Advocacy Committee. Barretto has a deep commitment to the Parkinson\u2019s cause because her mother has been living with Parkinson\u2019s for more than 18 years.<\/p>\n

As representatives of the Parkinson\u2019s community in political ridings across Canada, you, along with other volunteers coast-to-coast, will meet with your local MP and candidates to discuss issues impacting the Parkinson\u2019s community. Although the election must officially be held by October 19, 2015, there are indications it will be called early \u2013 this winter or in the spring of 2015.<\/p>\n

What are we looking for?<\/strong><\/p>\n
