Join Our Gratitude Calling Team

Throughout the year, MS Canada connects with fundraisers, event participants, donors, and other supporters who make our work possible. The Gratitude Calling Team is a group of dedicated volunteers who help strengthen these relationships by reaching out with messages of thanks and appreciation at key moments throughout the year.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to make thank you calls this fall!
