On March 21, 2025, the Government of Canada announced that Sinneave Family Foundation will establish and lead the new National Autism Network (NAN), in partnership with Autism Alliance of Canada.
The National Autism Network will provide a forum for the Autism community to be involved in the development of federal policies and programs that affect them. Incorporating lived and living experiences and perspectives, this network will establish and convene standing advisory committees that will support the implementation of the five key priority areas in the Framework for Autism in Canada and Canada’s Autism Strategy: Screening, Diagnosis and Services; Economic Inclusion; Data Collection, Public Health Surveillance and Research; Public Awareness, Understanding and Acceptance; and Tools and Resources.
