We invite you to join us at events in cities across Canada to mark International Long Covid Awareness Day on March 15th.

Each location will feature a lineup of speakers, including Long Covid researchers and people with lived experience.

We will also be highlighting the many ways Long Covid is heartbreaking for people living with the condition and their caregivers, with stories from across the country showcased in an impactful public awareness project.

(You can submit your story here until March 1st.)

Join us as we raise awareness and show support for the Long Covid community.
