Sign the E-Petition to Change Tax Policy for Gluten Free Food!

Sign until November 10th @ 4:04PM EDT (that’s 2:04PM MDT)

The link to sign the petition is here:

Petition e-5181 – Petitions (ourcommons.ca)

Celiac Canada is asking for your support to sign an e-petition calling upon the Government of Canada to provide tax relief to Canadians with Celiac disease by amending the Income Tax Act, in the form of an annual $1,000 refundable tax credit, together with a waiver of any requirement to retain receipt.

People with celiac disease require a strict, medically required gluten-free diet to control their autoimmune disease. Gluten-free products are up to 300% more expensive than traditional food with gluten. This creates a large economic burden on our community. There is no cure or other prescription treatments for celiac disease to replace this therapy.

For more information on this issue, please visit https://www.celiac.ca/tax-fairness-and-affordability/

SHARE WIDELY! Our goal is 20,000 signatures and we are excited to present this change to the government to increase affordability of gluten free food – the only treatment currently for celiac disease.

Hallowe’en is coming!

Enjoy a safe gluten-free Halloween this year, using Celiac Canada’s Gluten-Free Halloween Candy List 2024 updated by the CCA on September 25, 2024. As always, please check the ingredient lists on packages before consuming any candies.

Hallowe’en can be extra scary for the 1 in 13 children with food allergies!
But it doesn’t have to be! More info and video on the foodallergy.org website.
