Join the Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA) and receive a dual membership! This means you’ll not only be part of OBIA, but also a local participating brain injury association of your choice. The dual membership helps us provide a stronger voice for people living with acquired brain injuries and deliver province-wide programs. Become a member today and help us make a difference!

Is there a cost for the dual membership?

For an annual fee of $30.00, you get access to membership with OBIA and a local participating brain injury association of your choice. This fee is divided equally between the organizations to provide support to OBIA and the local association.

Is there a no-cost option?

Yes! To join the dual membership program at no-cost, you can participate in our Brain Injury Impact Study, available to individuals living with a brain injury and caregivers (i.e., family and friends). All information gathered in the Impact Study will be used to better inform healthcare policymakers, clinicians, researchers and insurers on how to support those living with a brain injury and their families. Your participation will enhance our ability to provide a unified voice on behalf of people affected by brain injury in Ontario. In appreciation of your effort in filling out this annual study, you will receive a 1-year free dual membership to both OBIA and the local participating brain injury association of your choice.
