The Alberta Porphyria Society has partnered with four students from Community Service-Learning at the University of Alberta. They are working on updating bylaws and policies for the Canadian Association for Porphyria (CAP) which is applying to become - once again -  a national, charitable organization registered with the Canadian Revenue Agency. Aidan, Cherene, Jacob and Kristan are working on future revisions of the bylaws and policies for CAP. They bring extensive knowledge and energy to this process and we want to thank them for agreeing to work with us.
