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?

Community Natural Foods has been a long-time supporter of the Calgary Celiac Association, and we’re excited to share that they’ve just opened a brand-new location in Seton!

Many of you will recognize Marney, who often attends our events and is a wonderful presence in our community. She is hosting a Gluten-Free Cooking Class on Saturday, December 6th, and asked if we could help spread the word, and of course, we’re happy to support.

If you’re free and would like to join, please visit their website to sign up.

💛💙 Giving Tuesday - December 2nd, 2025 💙💛

A day when we come together to make a real, meaningful difference.

This year, the Calgary Celiac Association is encouraging our community to support in two heartfelt ways:

💙 1. Drop Off a Gluten-Free Food Item

If you’re able, consider adding a gluten-free pantry item to your cart and dropping it off at your local food bank or any in-store holiday collection bin.
GF donations are always in high demand, and your small act of kindness can make a big impact for someone in need.

💛 2. Make a Monetary Donation to CCA

Your financial support helps us continue offering:
• vital programs
• educational resources
• community events
• advocacy
• and ongoing support for those living with celiac disease

Every contribution helps us create a stronger, more supported community.

👉 Donate here: www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-make-a-difference-13672

Thank you for spreading kindness and supporting the Calgary Celiac Association this Giving Tuesday. Your generosity truly matters. 💛💙
