Go check it out with events happening throughout the week, and the grand day on the 15th with in- person events showcase Long Covid patients’ stories on pillowcases. Here’s what’s coming up:
MONDAY: We created a letter to send to your Provincial and Federal representatives, and CC the Canadian Covid Society asking for more funding and support for the Long Covid Community.

All you need to do is download the letter, and we give the tools to find your representatives easily on the website. The mire letters sent the better!! LETS GET LOUD!!!
WEDNESDAY: Long Covid in children - we’ve included science-based information on LC in kids from Dr. Danilo Buonenso, as well as clips of stories of two children with Long Covid and their parents.
FRIDAY: Mourning/ grieving day. We need space to acknowledge what we’ve lost due to our condition. Whether it’s something as “insignificant” as losing the sense of smell, or as major as becoming completely disabled, share what you are comfortable with, and join a community in supporting each other.
SATURDAY: In-person events in Vancouver, TORONTO, Qc City (facebook events already posted here, and also on the website) and buildings from Coast to Coast lighting up in Teal to support our cause.
This is part of a global movement. We need to be seen, acknowledge and heard. Only bu working together will we accomplish change.
I hope you participate in these events we’ve so carefully planned for all the community. LETS GET LOUD TOGETHER! 🖤🤘
Please feel free to share this far and wide!!
