We know that the coronavirus pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty and likely caused some changes in your daily life. Now more than ever, we need to remind ourselves to pause, reset and find the little things that make us feel brighter.

While taking care of our minds and bodies, here at Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, we have also found joy in connecting virtually with our team and community. This is why we are bringing you another special edition of our Talk About Guts e-newsletter, because we want you to know that we are doing all we can to keep you informed and entertained.
A GETGUTSY ORIGINAL : COVID-19 & IBD Webinar

Each webinar provides updated information as to how COVID-19 can affect IBD, and highlights new topics and questions from our viewers. Be sure to watch yesterday’s webinar with our incredible panelists here and don't forget to register for the next one on Thursday, April 9 at 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. EDT.
Gutsy Walk, Going Virtual

At the heart of Crohn's and Colitis Canada, we are committed to the health and safety of our community. The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global situation and people living with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are at increased risk. So after careful consideration and consultation, we've made the decision to postpone the Sunday, June 7th Gutsy Walk and pivot towards a virtual walk held on Sunday, August 23rd. This added time will also allow us to make our 25th anniversary virtual walks truly special. This format allows you to participate anywhere in Canada, and to complete your walk, your way, and on your own time. If you haven’t registered already, go to gutsywalk.ca.
Financial Support For You

Did you know the Canadian federal and provincial governments provide various financial supports available to people living with Crohn’s or colitis? We rounded up lists of supports at each level, which can include tax credits, savings plans, health or drug benefit plans, and financial assistance programs. To see if you or someone you know is eligible, learn more on our website.
Take a Break from Netflix: Watch a Webinar!

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is committed to you and your wellbeing. Stay tuned for more resources we are working on to support you. We will be updating our website as we learn more about COVID-19 and how it can affect IBD patients, and will let you know via this newsletter when new materials and information are available.

Thanks, as always, for subscribing to the  Talk About Guts e-newsletter. We are wishing you and your loved ones good health. In the meantime, we will continue to deliver information, care, love and health to our community and each other. Until next week, stay safe, and follow the guidelines provided by our IBD experts.
