The Calgary Celiac Association

Celiac Canada is the national voice for people who are adversely affected by gluten and is dedicated to improving diagnosis and quality of life.  Celiac Canada serves people with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity and dermatitis herpetiformis through affiliated chapters across Canada.

The Calgary Celiac Association serves our local community through programs of awareness, advocacy, community events, education and research.

Our programs and events are open to anyone seeking help or advice. Subscribe to our emails to stay informed or join our membership program for additional member benefits.

Celiac disease is often hidden in plain sight

With over 200 potential symptoms — or sometimes none at all — it’s one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune diseases in Canada. May is Celiac Awareness Month, and we’re inviting you to learn the signs. Could it be celiac?

🍺🥨 𝗚𝗙 𝗢𝗞𝗧𝗢𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘!

It’s official - tickets for our 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗚𝗙 𝗢𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗧 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘃𝗲 are now open to everyone!

Our CCA members had 𝟮𝟰-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 and they certainly made use of it - a good chunk of our 50 tickets have already been snapped up!

📅 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟰𝘁𝗵 | 𝟰–𝟲 𝗣𝗠
📍 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗧 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 – 𝟭𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘃𝗲
🎟️$𝟳𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 (Tax and Gratuity Inc)⁠
We had hoped to keep tickets at $65, but after finalizing the full buffet, including dessert, we needed to make a small adjustment. We’ve worked hard to keep the cost as reasonable as possible, and CCA does not profit from this event.
🥨 100% GF Bavarian-inspired buffet
🍺 GF beer available
🎉 Games, prizes & Oktoberfest fun!

Not a CCA member yet? Membership is only $𝟭𝟬 𝗮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 and includes 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 - which can make all the difference when spaces are limited!
