Description of Activities

For over 100 Years, the BC Lung Association (BC Lung) has been dedicated to its mission of promoting and improving lung health for all British Columbians. A non-profit and a volunteer based health charity, the BC Lung depends on donations from the public to support lung health research, education, prevention and advocacy initiatives. The Lung Association movement began in the 1900's to control the spread of tuberculosis and provide better services for TB patients. Today, the BC Lung focuses on all issues that affect the ability of British Columbians to breathe.
