June is Brain Injury Awareness Month and various awareness activities have taken place across Canada. On June 5th, the Brain Injury Association of York Region (BIAYR) hosted a mix and mingle after their Annual General Meeting. The event was well attended and allowed survivors, treatment providers and others who assist those who suffer from the effects of an acquired brain injury to get to know each other and discuss issues faced by survivors in York Region. Adam Halioua, a Director of the BIAYR and Partner with Goodman Halioua LLP, was on hand to deliver the opening remarks on behalf of the Board.
The Brain Injury Association of York Region is run by a group of volunteers committed to providing information, support and advocacy to those living with the effects of acquired brain injury. The BIAYR strives to promote awareness and prevention of brain injury issues to the public and be an active participant within the brain injury community.
