The Scleroderma Society of Ontario was founded in late 1985 with the help of The Arthritis Society and dedicated volunteers. With the first executive in place, the challenge began and an open information meeting was held on April 20, 1986 in Toronto.

The Scleroderma Society of Ontario programs are entirely run and organized by dedicated volunteers. These volunteers make up the Board of Directors.
