National Indigenous Peoples Day
Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day鈥攁 time to recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis.
We encourage you to take some time to learn more about First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis as well as our collective past. The best way to do this is through their own voices. We鈥檝e selected books by Indigenous authors from our book collection on Indigenous health.
Pride Month Reading List
June is ALS Awareness Month
鈥淟etters to ALS: Our Journeys to Hope鈥� is a new book that brings together inspiring and touching stories from people living with ALS, their loved ones, healthcare professionals, and researchers, including members of The Neuro community.
You can pick up a free copy of the book in person at the Neuro Patient Resource Centre, located on the 3rd floor, Room 354.
June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month
To mark Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month, we are pleased to present a new educational brochure on myasthenia gravis for newly diagnosed individuals and their loved ones.
The idea for this resource arose from a discussion between a patient with myasthenia gravis and Maxime Grenier, a master鈥檚 student in physical therapy at 涩里番, during which Maxime noted a lack of resources and support for people living with this condition.
Here are the new titles in our collection, now available at the NPRC!

听
Often, when autistic people and non-autistic people talk about autism, they鈥檙e talking about two different things. "L'Autisme expliqu茅 aux non-autistes" attempts to bridge the gap between these perspectives.
