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.
