REPORT FROM THE BOARD CHAIRPERSON AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
HELPING MANITOBANS BREATHE EASIER EVERYDAY
This was an outstanding year for our organization. We continued to focus on our strategic goals,
improved the impact of our programs and services, increased our visibility and took a leadership role in
national strategies that will ultimately help more Manitobans breathe easier.
All of our efforts were aimed at preventing lung disease and improving the quality of life for the
284,000 Manitobans that must cope with the devastating effects of lung disease. We continued to
Neil Johnston
Board Chair
focus on air quality issues, tobacco reduction, education, support and research. As you will see in the
following report we were able to help thousands of Manitobans with our programs and services. We
continued to offer smoking prevention programs to youth and we helped both youth and adults to quit
smoking. We continued to protect thousands of Manitoba worker’s lungs with our Occupational Health
program, and increased awareness of lung disease through our work with the media and through
our social media sites. Our support groups continued to provide help to our clients and their families.
Hundreds of health professionals received training from us in our conferences and workshops. This
training will enhance the quality of care that they are able to provide to Manitobans with lung disease.
Our staff and volunteers have taken a leadership role in developing national strategies that will
boost our national structure, and research and health programs. These strategies will enhance our
organization across Canada and in Manitoba.
We did all of this because we know that when you can’t breathe nothing else matters. Our supporters
Margaret Bernhardt-Lowdon
Executive Director
understand this all too well. This year we were again blessed with the support of thousands of donors,
sponsors and volunteers. We would not have been able to achieve any of our successes without their
enthusiasm, generosity and dedication.
In the upcoming year, we will mark our 110th anniversary of helping Manitobans to breathe easier.
We are firmly committed to the lung health of Manitobans and we will continue to work hard every day
to improve lung health in our province.
BOARD AND STAFF
*Volunteers have always played a vital part in our success to help Manitobans breathe easier. We rely on the expertise, enthusiasm and
hard work of our voLUNGteers to help us reach our goal.

Providing lung health screening in
high risk workplaces
This year we tested the lungs of over
1000 employees working in 45 different
companies. We recruited 11 new
companies mostly in construction and
agriculture.
SUPPORT GROUPS
Supporting Manitobans with
lung disease
We provided support for the one in five
Manitobans with lung disease and helped
them to breathe easier through our support
groups, toll-free help lines, Facebook pages
and our website.
Many lung patients attended our Best
Breathers group in Brandon, Better Breathers group in Winnipeg, and Better Breathers on Air group. We also offered support
to patients, families and caregivers in our
Lung Transplant group. These support
groups provide education and support.
Attending these support groups in
person or by telephone gives patients, their
families and caregivers the opportunity
to ask questions and interact on topics
ranging from nutrition and healthy eating
to proper use of medications, exercise,
rehabilitation and more.
