Wastewater Surveillance

When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, the Foundation sprang into action investing donor funds into wastewater testing that would accelerate the response to the pandemic. This gave public health leaders invaluable data to help them make decisions about how to better protect the public from the spread of the virus.

When reports came out of the Netherlands that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was found in wastewater five days before the first clinical case of COVID-19 in that area was detected, Dr Natalie Prystajecky, program head for the Environmental Microbiology program at the BC Centre for Disease Control Public Health Laboratory knew immediately that wastewater testing could play a game-changing role in the pandemic.

Preventing Childhood Asthma

Asthma is the number one chronic disease of childhood, and the third most common chronic disease in Canada. With almost 300 Canadians diagnosed with asthma every day, each year about four families lose a loved one to a fatal asthma attack.

Imagine if we could proactively avoid asthma. That’s precisely why we decided to back a crucial applied public health initiative aimed at investigating whether there are actionable measures to alter these statistics and ultimately preserve lives.
