Have you ever noticed how easy breathing is—until it’s not? 

Now imagine struggling to breathe easily, without answers, guidance, or even someone to talk to. That is the daily reality for thousands of people across Saskatchewan living with lung disease. 

Every call to the Lung Saskatchewan Helpline is a human story. A mother trying to understand her child’s asthma. A grandfather worried about his new sleep apnea diagnosis. A woman, recently diagnosed with COPD, searching for answers. 

Thanks to donors like you, they’re not alone. They have someone to turn to.

The Lung Saskatchewan Helpline has seen a 33% increase in calls in just three years.

Find out what’s needed now—and how your support helps someone breathe a little easier.

Wednesday, September 17th at 12 pm (CST/SK)

We welcome Dr. Brian Conway as he explores with us an important question regarding immunization: What is the risk of ‘not’ immunizing against RSV or shingles living with chronic lung disease, and how do we open up the conversation about making this decision.

This webinar is proudly sponsored by GSK.

2024 was a remarkable year, with exciting progress in all areas of our work including research, education, and advocacy.

Lung Saskatchewan continues to work within our strategic pillars of Impact, Sustainability, and Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) as these pillars guide the organization's work. We remain focused on inclusivity and evidence-based approaches to lung health.

Yes, you heard right! One fabulous Breathe Strong winner said, “Nah, you go have fun!” and donated their Morgan Wallen concert tickets back to Lung Saskatchewan—which means YOU get a second shot at seeing the hottest show of the fall!

This isn’t just a concert. It’s a “scream your lungs out for lung health” kind of moment.

Bid big. Rock out. Breathe Strong. Support lung health like a legend.

For the third year in a row, Ralph Harris, Lung Saskatchewan’s Lung Ambassador and a double lung transplant recipient, rallied the community for a cause close to his heart.

Ralph's annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser at Shellbrook Hidden Hills raised $11,833 in support of lung health. A huge thank you to Ralph, and every golfer, supporter, and sponsor who made it such a special day.

A new paper published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, on July 17th, 2025, warns that respiratory disease is being critically underfunded and overlooked, with dangerous consequences to public health and global healthcare systems.

Our Lung Helpline is a free, confidential lung information service, managed by Certified Respiratory Educators.
