Carnations of Hope
The Perfect Mother's Day Gift

The carnation is a flowering plant that has been cultivated for over 2000 years. It is well known for both its beauty and long-lasting nature. Carnations were featured at the very first Mother’s Day observance in 1908 and are Canada's oldest and most recognized symbol of hope in the search for a cure for multiple sclerosis.
Carnations will be available for sale in Atlantic Canada at the following locations (Not all locations are listed, please contact your local chapter for details): NS Cape Breton:  Mayflower Mall & New Waterford Lawtons (May 10th-12th),  Cape Breton Regional Hospital (May 11th) Halifax: Halifax Shopping Centre Dartmouth: Mic Mac Mall, Woodlawn United Church Bedford/Sackville: Bedford Place Mall, Lower Sackville Sobeys, Lower Sackville Superstore Pugwash: Co-op (May 11th & 12th) Tatamagouche: Foodland (May 11th & 12th), Tatamagouche Farmers Market (May 12th) Wallace: Wallace Right Stop (May 11th & 12th) NB Restigouche: Sugarloaf Mall Moncton: Champlain Mall Fredericton: Regent Mall PE Summerside: Atlantic Superstore, Sobeys

How long has the Carnation Campaign been running?

The MS Carnation Campaign is a nation-wide fundraising initiative for the Multiple Sclerosis Society held just before Mother’s Day each year.  The Campaign has raised over $45 million nationally since 1976. 

What is the money used for?

Money raised by this campaign helps us deliver on our mission - to be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life – enabling us to provide education and services to individuals living with MS today, and to fund research to find a cure and end the devastating effects of MS tomorrow.
