Today the WFH is releasing the 2020 Humanitarian Aid Program Impact Report which shows how the Program supported #bleedingdisorders communities everywhere last year despite the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Read it here: http://ow.ly/kTW950EnPOa #HumanitarianAid

Lots of interesting topics were covered during the recent SCHQ Family Weekend. A coderouge Québec virtual coffee time allowed women with a bleeding disorder to... meet and discuss ideas, questions and concerns. An inspiring and inspired idea!

The Quebec chapter held their Annual General Meeting virtually on March 28. We are pleased to present the Société canadienne de l'hémophilie - Section Québec Board of directors for 2021-2022. #TakeoverTuesday

Yes! Summer will come and we will wear helmets while riding our bikes. Did you know you can use a CHS-MC Sports bursary towards the purchase of a bike helmet for a child with a bleeding disorder? You don't need the bursary signed for a helmet. Just fill out a request for service form and send in the receipt. https://www.hemophiliamb.ca/member-services/

We are so excited to be the recipient of the #2021donationdozen auction this March by It's Folk, no Yolk. Egg Art by Peter! Check out his page to see the beautiful eggs Peter creates! Thank you so much to Chapter members Paulette Cote and Peter Czehryn for generosity and for sharing your talent with us!

It's a beautiful day to explore The Forks and enter our Centennial River Trail Contest, where you can help a local charity win a $1,000 grant! Take a selfie at ...a gold coin location, post your photo on social media, follow us, and tag your photo with @wpgfdn, #TWF100, and your charity of choice! There are six gold coin locations - the more signs you find, the more times you can enter. You have until end of day Sunday to be eligible for Week 2 and potentially help a charity win one of five $1,000 grants for that week!

Manitobans, as a patient you have the right to bring someone along to help at appointments, and the My Patient Advocate Agreement can help everyone understand how your advocate can best support you. https://1l.ink/BC2WRKF#my_patient_advocate_agreement #learntobesafe

#ThankYouThursday to our friends at Evident It! Not only do they make sure we can reach out to our members and the public, they also support our Gala Dinner. They are super to work with and we know we aren't the only charity they support. True Manitobans! #supportlocal

What an inspiring day! We are amazed by the resilience and strength of the women and girls #bleedingdisorders community. Tune in tomorrow for another day of sessions and opportunities for networking at the #WGBD Summit: http://ow.ly/2k1T50Coq94

Please let us know if you plan to attend! This is a great opportunity!

Our good friends Hemophilia Ontario have extended an invitation to the greater CHS family to register! Take advantage! This will be an excellent webinar.

Thank you to Katherine Cameron and Bruce Cameron for a great Volunteer Appreciation last night! Bev Jones helped you created tasteful, yet funny COVID bingo phrases and Tony Tavares was hysterical as the bingo caller! The scavenger hunt was so much fun and it was so good to visit with 22 of the amazing people who make all the work that the Chapter does, possible. Hopefully we can be together in person next year!
