Welcome to the Canadian Spondylitis Association
April 2010
The Canadian Spondylitis Association announced the launch of our new website in December 2009. Since our launch we have had many people register to become members of our association. We have also received donations for which we are very grateful. In one case a couple asked that guests to their wedding contribute a donation to the CSA in lieu of a gift. As we are a totally volunteer group we rely on donations to continue support and advocate for Spondyloarthritis patients in Canada.
We have continued to upgrade our website in order to be able to better communicate with our members. In the near future we will be able to distribute our newsletter along with other important SpA news and updates. We encourage all new viewers to our website to take a few minutes to complete the free registration. Join the CSA now and add your name to the growing list of members who are dedicated to improving the lives of those living with spondyloarthritis.
The Canadian Spondylitis Association is a Non-Profit national patient association formed in April 2006 to support and to advocate for those suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis and associated spondyloarthritis diseases including Psoriatic Arthritis, Enteropathic Arthritis and Reactive Arthritis.

WALK TO FIGHT ARTHRITIS - SUNDAY MAY 30TH,2010
On Sunday, May 30, our team, The Spondys, is participating in The Arthritis Society’s Walk to Fight Arthritis presented by the makers of TYLENOL®. We are walking and raising pledges to support the thousands of Canadians who are living with the pain and disability caused by spondylitis. Please consider registering, raising pledges and participating in this very important event. Registration is free, easy and will only take a few minutes of your time. We hope that all of you as members can consider walking locally in Ontario. Together our team can make a significant contribution. There are ten walks in Ontario. By joining our team, all the funds raised will be grouped from our team and we will be able to show our support for valuable research like the SPAARC spondylitis research. We would love you to join us, walk, ask your friends, family and neighbors to walk or to donate and help us find a cure.
In Toronto join Michael' s Team " THE SPONDYS" The walk is also being held in 17 communities across Canada. Sign up NOW! Michael Mallinson, President |
