ABOUT US
Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is on a relentless journey to find the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improve the lives of everyone affected by these chronic diseases. Collectively with the support of volunteers, researchers, donors and the community, we are transforming the lives of people affected by Crohn’s and colitis through research, support programs, advocacy, and awareness.
It is an incredibly exciting time for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

This strategy is in part fueled by tens of thousands of supporters and donors across the country and the opportunities we can provide to empower and engage them.
