Celiac Kids Connect – In Person May 2024

CELIAC KIDS CONNECT IN PERSON EVENT NOTICE

Good morning Chapter members,

Do you have a child/grandchild living with celiac disease aged 5 to 11 years old who would like to meet other children living with celiac disease?

Come join us at the Jerry Forbes Centre for Community Spirit on Saturday May 4th from 1.30 – 3.30pm for an afternoon of fun and magic in the form of a magic show! The Celiac Baker (new to St. Albert) will be providing the kids with a sweet treat. There will be a small admission fee of $10 (to help us cover some of the costs associated with running these events) per child. Please register your child only. This event is for kids living with celiac disease (no siblings please unless celiac of course) – we host family events throughout the year. One parent can accompany their child as space is limited.

Here is the link to register:

Nuts About You

Is everything Celiac safe?

We are deeply committed to fostering inclusivity and transparency within our community. We recognize the diverse dietary needs and preferences of our attendees, including those with celiac disease and those who avoid gluten for various reasons.

While we strive to provide a wide array of safe gluten-free options, we also value talented bakeries that offer gluten-free selections that may contain traces. These selections may not be suitable for individuals with celiac disease but provide an opportunity for those avoiding gluten to explore a more diverse range of products. We believe everyone should have as many options as possible, acknowledging the challenges faced by those with dietary restrictions, especially celiac disease.

Understanding the constraints, such as costs, that come with providing completely safe products for individuals with celiac disease, we encourage vendors to specify the suitability of their food options. By doing so, we enable our community to make informed choices based on their unique dietary needs. We kindly ask that every vendor prominently displays a sign noting the level of gluten-free suitability for their products.

Thank you for being part of this event and contributing to a space where a diverse and delicious selection of products is available to accommodate a range of dietary preferences and needs. Your participation at our event signifies your acknowledgment and acceptance of this shared commitment.
