Happy Celiac Awareness Day! 💚

Tonight we lit up the Winnipeg sign at The Forks to help raise awareness for Celiac Disease and support our amazing gluten-free community. From advocacy and education to support and connection, every conversation matters. ✨

We are proud to stand together with our green ribbons and even prouder to be part of such a strong community. 💚🌾🚫

May is Celiac Awareness Month 💚🌾

This month we’re raising awareness, supporting those living with celiac disease, and advocating for better understanding of the importance of a strict gluten-free lifestyle.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or part of the celiac community — you are not alone. Together we can create safer spaces, spread education, and build a stronger community across Manitoba.

Join us in raising awareness this month by sharing your story, learning more about celiac disease, supporting local gluten-free businesses, and helping us continue our work in the community. 💚

Celiac Canada was pleased to join the Honourable Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, and MP Sonia Sidhu for a critical discussion on the health and financial security of Canadians living with Celiac disease.

Led by our Executive Director, Melissa Secord, we addressed the growing financial burden of the gluten-free diet and the urgent need to modernize the Medical Expense Tax Credit (METC). MP Sonia Sidhu, a founding member of the All-Party Celiac Caucus, continues to be a steadfast champion for our community, and we are grateful to Minister Michel for her leadership and commitment to health equity.

We remain dedicated to ensuring that a medical necessity is never out of reach for any Canadian.
