Here, there and everywhere
Cystic Fibrosis Canada is a national organization, which means we’re in communities across the country. Not necessarily in formal offices, or even in formal groups, but we make it a priority to be close to people who are affected by cystic fibrosis. To talk, to listen, to meet, to share.
Person-to-Person: Connecting within the CF community
Because the CF journey can be a complex one, there’s nothing like connecting with others who have firsthand, personal experience of that journey. Whether you’re living with CF or have a family member who does, it can be helpful to participate in activities that encourage learning, listening, discussion and support. Here are a few to consider:
- Camp Fromaway
This is a fun, virtual camp for Canadian youth aged 11-17 years living with CF, brought to you by Upopolis, Camp Maple Leaf and Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Hosted over five days in July, CF campers can meet each other virtually while participating in fun camp activities facilitated by a Certified Child Life Specialist daily from 12-2 pm ET on Zoom. Campers are equipped with a camper kit mailed to them ahead of time with everything they need to participate in camp activities. Sign up to be the first to hear when registrations open for Camp Fromaway 2025. - Peer Connections
CF Canada’s peer connection groups are a series of virtual group meetings, each on a specific topic of interest to the CF community, hosted by a trained volunteer facilitator from the CF community, restricted to community members who share similar circumstances relating to CF. This program is in its pilot stage so watch for opportunities to participate in 2025.
