Dying With Dignity Canada is the national human-rights charity committed to improving quality of dying, protecting end-of-life rights, and helping Canadians avoid unwanted suffering.
Through advocacy, public education, and personal support, Dying With Dignity Canada ensures Canadians have access to quality end-of-life choice and care.
We provide support to adults suffering from a grievous and irremediable medical condition who wish to die on their own terms.
