CCFC Sponsors Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Month

The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) has designated November as Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Month. This year, the CCFC is developing an initiative to better understand Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis in children and adolescents. They are working with pediatric gastroenterologists to create a system to track cases of IBD in kids across Canada. Other events in November include the "Gutsiest Canadian" contest, which will honor seven Canadians who are making a difference in the IBD community, and educational symposia in cities across Canada. If you haven't become involved with the CCFC, this month is a great time to get started!
