On April 4, about 85 of our young patients and their families came to Children's Hospital for IBD Family Education Day. We invited several speakers to talk to our families and they talked about research, nutrition, and their experiences with IBD. Angus Reid from the BC Lions shared his inspirational story and motivated not just the children but their parents too! There were also workshops and various activities throughout the day. Organizations like Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorders Foundation(CHILD), Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada, Zajac Ranch for Children, Intestinal Disease Education and Awareness Society (IDEAS) set up booths and were on hand throughout the day to answer questions and provide information to our families. The day was truly a success! Thank you to everyone who came and we look forward to seeing you all at our next IBD day! If you have any suggestions for future IBD days (discussion topics, workshops, activities, etc), please complete this short form by clicking the link: IBD Family Day Suggestions or by emailing Terry Viczko at
