Registered as a charity (#857126148RR0001), BIANBA operates with a mission to enhance lives through education, awareness, and peer-driven support programs[1][5].
History and Structure
Founded as a grassroots initiative, BIANBA is governed by a volunteer board of directors and employs a Peer Support Coordinator to facilitate mentorship programs. The organization collaborates with the Ontario Brain Injury Association (OBIA) to offer dual memberships, enabling access to provincial resources and local initiatives[1][5].
Programs and Services

- Peer Support: Matching brain injury survivors and caregivers with trained mentors for shared-experience guidance[1][5].
- Education and Prevention: Delivering community workshops to raise awareness of ABI impacts and prevention strategies[2][5].
- Advocacy: Promoting public and professional understanding of brain injury challenges, including social reintegration and long-term care needs[1][5].
Funding and Operations

Affiliations
BIANBA is an OBIA affiliate and part of a broader network of provincial associations under Brain Injury Canada, which advocates for national standards in ABI care and policy[1][4].
Geographical Scope
The organization serves the District of Nipissing, operating within the traditional territories of the Nipissing and Dokis First Nations, and acknowledges Indigenous stewardship of the region[1].
