Convention Charity of Choice 

Cystic Fibrosis Canada has been chosen by the convention host region, Pacific Rim, as the charity of choice for BCNU’s 2026 convention. Fundraising will begin in April, with members invited to donate through a shared link. The union will match donations up to $2,500. 

Founded in 1960 by parents of children living with cystic fibrosis, Cystic Fibrosis Canada has grown into a national leader with a central role in engaging people with cystic fibrosis, parents and caregivers, volunteers, researchers and healthcare professionals, industry partners, government, and donors. 

The organization works collaboratively to change lives by advocating for access to therapies, supporting the delivery of care, funding research, and providing trusted information, connections, and support. Cystic Fibrosis Canada remains committed to its vision: a future where all people with cystic fibrosis can live fully, without limit.
