Vancouver Film School Digital Design students teamed up with the Brainstreams.ca team to put together this one-minute video outlining the key facts and risks associated with brain injury in Canada. We are pleased to share it with you!

  • In Canada, there are 165,000 brain injuries each year
  • Despite the severity of this silent epidemic, more and more Canadians are finding the courage to endure all of the hardships after a brain injury.
  • Together we can make a change. There's great comfort in knowing that there's a community for sharing.
  • We are about providing as much support as we can. Share your support here on Brainstreams.ca.
