We are proud to be part of RESILIENCE 2026, -ehaq International Conference on Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
This second annual edition of the Resilience conference will feature presentations from:
* Paul-Claude Berube, LLB - The former President of Accessibility Standards Canada, highlights how everyday exposures affect health, quality of life, and accessibility, underscoring the importance of clean environments, inclusion, and the right to breathe clean air.

* Bruce Zevallos - This perspective from a paralegal at RCR Legal Services highlights how courtroom evidence can be used to support access, inclusion, and the right to safe and healthy workplaces.
This two-day international conference brings together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and civil society leaders to advance scientific understanding of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and strengthen public education and awareness of MCS as a disability.
Join us as we move science forward, elevate lived experience, and build practical solutions for accessible air in the built environment.
