Welcome to CIAD—Canadian Intervention and Assistance Dogs Society.  In Gaelic, CIAD means “primary” or “first”.  We felt that this name truly reflects our training school on a number of levels….first; we are a new school in Nova Scotia offering intervention and assistance dog training.  Secondly, we are focusing on providing assistance (service) dogs to first responders who have sustained post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI) that are either cumulative (long-term over their career) or incidental (a specific event). We are an incorporated not-for-profit society and operate following the Societies Act of Nova Scotia. Follow along with us as we grow and consider becoming one of our supporters!  There are many ways that you can help CIAD grow…by donating your time, talents or financial contributions to help us reach our goal of pairing service dogs with first responders.

The Canadian Intervention and Assistance Dogs (CIAD) is a not-for-profit society that aims to pair veterans and first responders with service dogs as part of their healing and treatment plan. CIAD was formed to help to bridge the gap between the need for high caliber service dogs and the low supply.

Our Vision - A world without liver disease. Our Mission - Bringing liver research to life for all Canadians Through research, we are able to improve prevention, screening, diagnostics and treatments in order to reduce the incidence and impact of liver disease. Research is the key to minimizing the impact on people affected by liver diseases, but it’s only as good as its practical application. Through our advocacy, education and patient support efforts, we share the knowledge gained through research to improve the lives of liver disease patients and protect others who are at risk. At the same time, we seek to eliminate the barriers that may limit patients’ access to research breakthroughs. Our Mandate - The Canadian Liver Foundation’s mandate is to promote liver health and reduce the incidence and impact of liver disease by providing support for research and education into the causes, diagnoses, prevention and treatment of liver disease.
