Crohn's and Colitis Canada, also known as Crohn et Colite Canada, is a privately owned organization headquartered in Canada. Founded in 1974, it operates with approximately 120 employees. The organization functions as a national volunteer-based charity dedicated to finding cures for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and to improving the lives of children and adults affected by these chronic conditions.
Crohn's and Colitis Canada launched its Gutsy Learning Series on August 20, 2026, a virtual program offering insights directly from Canadian inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experts for patients and their supporters. Previously, on August 6, the organization spotlighted Abbie Redding for International Youth Day, sharing her journey from a teenage Crohn's disease patient to an aspiring physician, highlighting her resilience and passion for helping others. This followed the launch of a South Asian IBD Needs Assessment Survey on August 5, inviting individuals identifying as South Asian and living with IBD or supporting a loved one to share experiences anonymously, aiming to shape future programs and resources. On July 24, the organization highlighted the story of Laura and Pascal, a couple living with Crohn's disease, emphasizing how research impacted their ability to start a family despite initial concerns. Earlier in July, on the 17th, Crohn's and Colitis Canada featured Chantal's 17-year journey with ulcerative colitis, focusing on the discovery of friendship through a shared diagnosis.
