Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada

The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada (in French: "Fondation canadienne des tumeurs cérébrales") is a Canadian charitable organization founded in 1982 which offers support, education and information to people in Canada affected by a brain tumour and their families, and which raises funds for brain tumour research. It is based in London, Ontario. The executive director is Susan Marshall.

The foundation publishes a "Patient Resource Handbook", which it describes as “a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide to brain tumours,” in English and French, as well as a newsletter, "Brainstorm".
