About Us

Our volunteers are leaders using their gift of time and talent to educate others, advocate, and help raise money so Crohn’s and Colitis Canada can continue to fund critical research, patient programs, advocacy, and awareness initiatives. Since 1974, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has invested $145 million into world-leading Canadian research. Our Thunder Bay Chapter needs new volunteers to join our team, and we need your help!
