What is SADCAN?

SADCAN is an independent, non-profit seeking charitable status in Canada, serving CAF members and veterans, and upon availability of space RCMP (active and retired) and first-responders.

Established in 2023, we are the first Canadian foundation to take preventative and restorative care of persons suffering from SAD outside the country to a tropical and bright location. Our highly experienced, multidisciplinary team is dedicated to helping our clients find healing and well-being.

“The very relationship with the other is the relationship with the future.”

— Emmanuel Levinas
