What’s on
Celiac Social Support
I’ve just been diagnosed and am desperate to meet other celiacs!
I need help navigating my new life!
I’m on the diet butI still feel lousy!
I’m on the diet but I am bored to tears!
Can I ever eat out again?
What do I say when ...?
Meet with fellow celiacs who have ‘been there and done that’ Lifestyle Markets is the the generous host of Victoria’s Celiac Socials. Listen and laugh over a gluten free snack, cup of tea or coffee. Ask your burning questions or relax and enjoy. Meetings end with a tour of the aisles to get your bearings or to discover the secrets to gluten free happiness. Don’t be shy - give us a try.
First visits open to everyone, after that you are encouraged to become a member of the Canadian Celiac Association.
You can register to become a member of the CCA during these Celiac Social Support meetings.
