Our History
The Canadian Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (the SIDS Foundation) was created in 1973 to respond to the needs of families experiencing a sudden and devastating, unexpected infant death.

We are an incorporated charitable organization (BIN number 118831544-RR0001) governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing various regions across Canada.

We are the only organization in Canada solely dedicated to finding the cause(s) of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and its effect on families, to the education of the public and to the emotional support of families who have had their babies die unexpectedly.
