About this Event

Join us for a weekend of education, inspiration, and hope at the 2025 Family Forum—Canada’s only national education event created specifically for families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This year’s forum is extra special as we celebrate Defeat Duchenne Canada’s 30th anniversary and three decades of leadership, advocacy, and community impact.

Hosted in partnership with SickKids and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, the Family Forum is designed for the whole family. Alongside expert-led sessions for parents and caregivers, this year introduces dedicated child and youth programming—inclusive, engaging activities created just for kids and teens living with Duchenne and their siblings.

Come together in person in Toronto, Ontario, or join online from anywhere across Canada to learn, connect, and share in a weekend of meaningful experiences for every member of the family.

What: 2025 Family Forum hosted in partnership with SickKids and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital

When: Saturday, October 25, to Sunday, October 26, 2025

Family Forum Venue: In person at Vantage Venues in Toronto, Ontario and broadcast nationally online via Pheedloop.
