Crohn's and Colitis Canada - Halton & Peel Region

We are the Halton Chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. Learn more and donate at www.crohnsandcolitis.ca.

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and improving the lives of children and adults affected by these diseases. Founded in 1974, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada was composed of a group of concerned parents who believed their children, and others living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, deserved better care and better lives. Today, we are one of the top two health charity funders of Crohn’s and colitis research in the world, investing nearly $122 million in research since 1974, leading to important breakthroughs in genetics, gut microbes, inflammation and cell repair as well as laying the groundwork for new and better treatments. We offer education and patient support programs across the country that aim to educate and raise awareness about these diseases. Together, we are transforming the lives of people affected by Crohn’s and colitis through research, patient programs, advocacy, and awareness.

The Gutsy Walk is coming up, and we’re looking for some absolute legends to help make the magic happen 💜

We’re talking about the behind-the-scenes MVPs…
👉 The hype crew
👉 The “yes I can carry 12 boxes at once” heroes
👉 The ones who show up early, stay late, and somehow still smile

Whether you’ve got a few hours or a full day, there’s a spot for you on our volunteer team—and trust us, it’s a good one.

Because this isn’t just a walk.
It’s a community.
It’s showing up for people living with Crohn’s and colitis.
It’s being part of something that actually matters.

Plus… bragging rights, good vibes, and maybe even a few snacks 👀

Let’s make this year’s Gutsy Walk the best one yet 💪💜
