Toujours Vivant - Not Dead Yet

What Toujours Vivant - Not Dead Yet does

Toujours Vivant - Not Dead Yet (TVNDY) is a Canadian non-profit advocacy organization founded in January 2013 and domiciled in Sallaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec, where it operates as a project of the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD). TVNDY is bilingual (French/English), progressive, and non-religious, and its stated mission is to unify and amplify the voice of people with disabilities opposed to euthanasia and assisted suicide (Medical Aid in Dying / l'AMM) in Canada. The organization is run by a small team consisting of Director Amy E. Hasbrouck and Assistant Director Christian Debray, with no proprietary technology platform and no products or services for sale; its core deliverables are educational and advocacy materials rather than commercial offerings.

Its functional outputs consist of a bilingual website (tvndy.ca), an email newsletter compliant with Canadian Anti-Spam Law, an archived webcast library of more than 200 episodes, blog posts, legal analyses, parliamentary and legislative submissions, audio/video content, and an online data collection form for Medical Aid in Dying experiences. Distribution is conducted via the website, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, press releases, and direct testimony before bodies such as the Québec National Assembly and federal parliamentary committees. TVNDY participated as an intervenor in the Supreme Court of Canada's Carter v. Canada decision and has been repeatedly engaged on Québec's Bill 52 and Bill 11 MAiD legislation.

TVNDY's only revenue stream is charitable donations processed through its website and via its parent CCD structure; it does not charge for any of its materials. The organization targets three principal beneficiary groups — people with disabilities, elders, and individuals with chronic or degenerative illnesses — and operates primarily within Québec and Canada while collaborating with international peer groups including Not Dead Yet (U.S.) and Not Dead Yet UK.

Direct peers

• Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: A Canada-based (London, Ontario) advocacy organization opposing euthanasia and assisted suicide. It is a broader, faith-inclusive coalition that overlaps with TVNDY on Canadian end-of-life policy debates, though it extends beyond the disability-rights framing.
• Inclusion Canada: A national federation representing people with intellectual disabilities and their families. While broader in scope than TVNDY, it engages on end-of-life policy from a disability rights perspective and overlaps with TVNDY's advocacy community.
• Not Dead Yet: The original U.S.-based disability rights organization opposing legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia. TVNDY is explicitly modeled after and partnered with Not Dead Yet, sharing its mission, name, and advocacy framework across the disability community.
• Not Dead Yet UK: The U.K. affiliate of Not Dead Yet that campaigns against assisted suicide legalization from a disability rights perspective. TVNDY collaborates with Not Dead Yet UK on international advocacy and shares its core ideological positioning.
• DisAbled Women's Network Canada (DAWN): A national disability rights organization led by and for women and gender minorities with disabilities. It overlaps with TVNDY on disability-rights policy framing and intersects with end-of-life advocacy from a progressive, non-religious perspective.
• Dying With Dignity Canada: Canada's leading advocacy organization supporting expanded access to assisted dying and end-of-life choice. It is the most direct ideological counterparty to TVNDY in Canadian MAiD debates, frequently appearing in the same legislative and public consultations.

Regional players
