Reference excerpt

Founded in 1948, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada promotes multiple sclerosis (MS) research and provides education and services to people with MS and their families and caregivers. The society's mission is to seek a cure for MS and to enable people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life. The MS Society of Canada is governed by a National Board of Directors composed of 27 volunteer members who are elected annually. The seven regional divisions and nearly 120 chapters are also governed by elected volunteer boards of directors. The society has 28,000 members. The head office is in Toronto, Ontario. Division offices are located in Dartmouth, Montreal, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Burnaby.

MS Walk The MS Walk is the society’s largest pledge-based fundraiser involving over 60,000 participants and volunteers in more than 160 communities across Canada. The Walk began in 1991 and in 2008, it raised over $12 million. Money raised through the MS Walk fund much needed research and services to 55,000-75,000 Canadians living with MS.

All MS Walks (now called Walk MS events) have common elements: food, entertainment, fundraising prizes and rest stops. Each event location has routes of varying length and difficulty and at least one that is wheelchair accessible. The MS Walks are designed to be events that encourage people with MS to participate in one form or another. The MS Walks are known for being well organized, logistically sound events.

Walkers can register as an individual or as part of a team. However, the MS Society actively encourages walkers to register as a team, so they can experience the camaraderie of walking with a group of people all working towards a common goal. Teams can consist of family, friends, co-workers, hockey buddies, book club members, etc. Many teams across the country show team spirit by representing their team with t-shirts, temporary tattoos, flags and costumes. The Society has staff dedicated to help teams achieve success. Staff help with:

establishing team plans and activities registering teams setting recruitment and fundraising goals All registered walkers are highly encouraged to commit to a minimum fundraising goal, however, due to the physical and financial limitations created by MS the focus is participation and community action. The MS Society provides several tools to ensure that walkers achieve their goals, including a personal online fundraising website where participants can email potential donors, receive online pledges, post photos, and share their stories. Volunteers are crucial to the success of the MS Walks. For those who are unable to walk, or would prefer to help out in another way, there are many volunteer opportunities available. Some of the many opportunities include: organizing committees, checkpoint help, start/finish line volunteers, and food attendants.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada

In research: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Disability organizations based in Canada, Medical and health organizations based in Ontario, Multiple sclerosis organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
