Please join our national CommUnity Connect Group. These volunteer-led community groups are exclusively for patients and family members from across Canada to join, and are led by volunteers who are PI patients themselves. These groups help connect individuals to share experiences, receive information and gain support from the safety of their own homes. This type of support encourages a sense of community, a welcoming environment, great discussions, ensuring everyone is listened to and supports one another.

These events are free but they do require you to register and be over the age of 19.

Please make sure to register here.
