Epilepsy Newfoundland and Labrador is a registered charity that was founded in 1983. Before it’s inception, there was very little support or information available for struggling parents or individuals within the province. While small at first, ENL soon began to grow and expand, offering support and services to the growing number of men, women and children living with epilepsy in Newfoundland and Labrador. ENL is a founding member of The Canadian Epilepsy Alliance/Alliance Canadienne de l’Epilepsie (CEA/ACE). The CEA/ACE is a partnership between several grassroots epilepsy organizations Canada wide. They are dedicated to the promotion of independence, quality of life, and full community participation of persons with and affected by epilepsy. Our organization relies on the generous donations from local businesses and the community to help develop programs and services dedicated to advocacy, education and support for individuals as well as their families. ENL remains committed to working towards awareness and understanding, as well as bridging the gap between the social realities of living with epilepsy.
