WOW, seven years already!
The Toronto 'A Million Things I Need to Say' 1K /5K Walk & Run for Stuttering Awareness and Fundraiser in support of The Speech and Stuttering Institute is entering its 7th year on Sunday September 23, 2018.
The highly successful Toronto Walk Run for Stuttering Awareness will expand to St. John's, Newfoundland in 2018. Over the past seven years the annual walk has raised thousands of dollars to help people in financial need obtain speech therapy at Toronto's Speech and Stuttering Clinic.
The Canadian Stuttering Association is pleased to introduce Eeva Stierwalt as our new National Coordinator. Eeva served on the planning committee of this year's conference that took place on October 28. We are looking forward to working with her to help guide the organization as we provide support to people who stutter across Canada and plan next year's conference.
Since October 2017 the Canadian Stuttering Association has a new monthly newsletter created by volunteers Christina Spicer and Julia Palozzi. These newsletters can be emailed to you once you join as a member, or you can access them here.
