From national research and healthy housing to education and public awareness, ASEQ-EHAQ's projects work to remove the barriers that people living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) face every day — in workplaces, healthcare, housing, and public spaces.
Statistics Canada, Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), 2020
Each project brings together partners across the disability, legal, health, environmental, and research sectors. Together, they build the evidence, tools, and public understanding needed for equity, inclusion, and accessibility for people with MCS in Canada.
A national project advancing awareness of legal rights, building a network of educators, and connecting legal, medical, environmental, and disability sectors to remove barriers for people with MCS. Funded in part by the Government of Canada's Social Development Partnerships Program — Disability Component.
