The #1 goal of Wear Red Canada is to reach more people across Canada.

In 2020, the Canadian Women's Heart Health Alliance's Advocacy Working Group launched four Wear Red Canada Regional Planning Committees (RPC). In its first year, it recruited over 100 clinicians, researchers, trainees, and patient advocates to help disseminate key messages about women’s heart health across Canada.

The Co-Leads from each of the four Regional Planning Committees also sit on the National Planning Committee.
