Our Mission
About
The Lifespan Society of British Columbia is the first non-profit life-extension advocacy organization in Canada. We have been advocating for radical life extension since 2012. Lifespan members operate on a purely volunteer basis with a board that has collectively put years into making this possible.
Mission Statement
Lifespan's mission is to promote and protect access to science-based strategies for extending human lifespan. We advocate healthy living through education on optimal nutrition, integration of physical activities, and a broad range of existing and future treatments that encompass all aspects of longevity.

We believe the best years of your life are still ahead of you, and we make it our mission to help people improve upon that journey. Through a variety of community programs and events, we offer exciting insights into present and future health care technologies.
Lifespan Society of British Columbia believes that access to life extension technology is a fundamental human right. Together, we work to ensure Canadians have access to medical life extension treatments currently in development. To this end, we organize conferences and educational outreach events to stimulate informed and critical discussion on life extension issues.
Cryonics
For the past six years, the Lifespan Society of British Columbia has been focused on resolving uncertainty that existed with regard to the legal prohibition of the marketing of cryonics on the expectation of revival. In 2018 we were pleased to finally reach a resolution of this issue with the provincial government.

One of our next major goals is to improve accessibility and access to cryonics in Canada. Because the majority of organizations providing cryonics services are located in the United States, many Canadians face various challenges when arranging for a successful and timely cryopreservation.
Lifespan Society aims to grow a support network of local cryonicists, funeral directors, and resources so our members are prepared ahead of time, and cryopreservation can proceed swiftly.
Membership and Board
The Society's board of directors consists of Carrie Radomski (Wong), Keegan Macintosh, Luke Cockerham, Soleil Lapierre, Witek Radomski and Victor Kozak.
We welcome all Canadians as members, although voting in the society is open to BC residents.
