Learn how Alcor Canada supports cryopreservation, research, and member services across the country.
The Alcor Canada Cryobiology Research Foundation was established in January 2024 as a non-profit, sister organization to Alcor Life Extension Foundation. Our primary goal is to support and conduct cryobiology research while representing Canadians who believe in cryopreservation.
Our head office is located in Ottawa, the nation’s capital. We represent Canadians who believe in cryopreservation and regularly meet with current members and those inquiring about becoming members.
Our Mission
Alcor Canada aims to expand cryonics knowledge and availability throughout Canada. We actively work to:
- Provide standby, stabilization, and transport services within Canada through our Canadian DART team
- Support cutting-edge cryobiology research
- Increase cryonics awareness in Canadian communities
- Establish partnerships with Canadian universities and medical facilities
Yes. Alcor Canada works with Canadian citizens wherever they may be located. We can assist with arrangements for Canadian citizens living abroad and coordinate with Alcor US or other international teams if needed. We also provide guidance on navigating the legal and logistical considerations specific to Canadian citizens, regardless of their current residence.
Alcor sets itself apart from other cryonics organizations globally through several key features:
While we work in close coordination with Alcor US, Alcor Canada was established as a separate non-profit organization to address the unique needs of Canadian members. This includes navigating Canadian regulations, building relationships with local medical communities, and developing Canada-specific research initiatives. After initial procedures in Canada, patients are transported to Alcor’s facility in Scottsdale, Arizona for long-term care.
The Canadian DART team strategically maintains equipment and personnel across different regions of Canada to minimize response times. Our geographic distribution allows us to reach most major Canadian cities within hours, providing the critical rapid response needed for optimal preservation outcomes.
