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?

🤠 𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗗! 🤠

Our Wendy T’s GF Stampede Breakfast is just around the corner, and we’re still looking for approximately 15 amazing volunteers to help make this year’s event our biggest and best yet!

We’re expecting up to 1000 guests and would love a few more people to roll up their sleeves and join the team.

Volunteer opportunities may include:

💪 Event setup (for the strong ones!)
🥞 Breakfast service
😊 Welcoming and assisting guests
🎪 General event support
🧹 Cleanup and teardown

Volunteer shifts will take place between approximately 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM, but volunteers are not expected to work the entire time. We will do our best to schedule shifts based on availability and event needs.

Whether you can help for a couple of hours or a longer shift, we’d love to hear from you.

This event would not be possible without the incredible people who generously give their time to support Calgary’s gluten-free community.

📧 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀@𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗰.𝗰𝗮

Please share with friends, family, coworkers, students, or anyone who enjoys giving back and being part of a fun community event.

Thank you for helping us make Wendy T’s GF Stampede Breakfast our biggest and best celebration yet! 💙💛💚
