GOALS: EDUCATION, ADVOCACY AND RESEARCH FOR A BETTER FUTURE: The west coast of Canada is not as highly endemic for Lyme disease as the east coast however, it is important for individuals in every region to be aware of tick-bite prevention strategies when spending time outdoors. Ticks carry more than Lyme disease so avoiding tick bites is essential for all tick-borne diseases. Event tickets purchased will help protect and inform players, their families and their communities about Lyme and other tick-borne diseases and also help CanLyme continue our important work of Lyme disease education, advocacy and research to help reduce misdiagnosis and improve treatments.
