Get involved with Obesity Canada

Support our mission

Support our mission by getting involved with research, education, and advocacy efforts. Eliminating weight bias and expanding access to quality, evidence-informed care for Canadians is at the heart of our work.

There are many options to choose from so that you can make an impact and help improve the lives of people living with obesity.​

Help advocate for change

Obesity Canada is advocating for better policies, improved access to care, and an end to weight bias—but we can’t do it alone. Get involved in advocacy campaigns that push for meaningful action and help create a future where people living with obesity receive the care and respect they deserve.

Get involved in obesity research

Obesity Canada is dedicated to advancing obesity research and supporting the next generation of researchers. Our Fellowship Program supports early-career researchers and trainees working to improve the understanding, treatment, and prevention of obesity.

Applications for the Fellowship Program will be announced here—stay tuned for updates.
