The Canadian Burn Foundation was founded in 1998 to provide support and programs for Canadian burn victims. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) A primary goal is to reduce the Canadian burn statistics through educational and prevention programs. The Foundation also provides computers to burn survivors, allowing them to access the internet for support from other burn victims. As well, it sponsors child and adult victims to attend burn camps across Canada, where they can meet other survivors and relax in a non-judgemental environment.
