What We Do:
Arthritis Society Canada is on a mission to fight the fire of arthritis with research, innovation, advocacy and information and support. That’s because arthritis robs six million Canadians of their mobility, mental and physical well-being, and in some cases, their livelihood. It is Canada’s most common chronic condition, and there is no cure.
Why Join Us:
A career with us is more than just a job. It’s an opportunity to use your talents to push back against the devastation of arthritis. Fighting the fire of arthritis gives meaning to our work, incites collective action, and drives us to excellence in all we do.

Our people are essential to our efforts, and we will empower you to be successful in your role. We are honoured to be a 2022-2023 Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures winner, and proud to be accredited under Imagine Canada’s Standards Program.
