Celiac Kids Rock Support Group – Oct 15th

Come join us for our second in person meeting of the Celiac Kids Rock Support Group at the Jerry Forbes Centre on Saturday October 15th from 11.30am to 1pm.

The theme this time is an indoor picnic with Kinnikinnick! This group is for children aged 5 to 11 who are living with celiac disease (no siblings please). We will be doing two demonstrations showing how to pack a balanced lunch. The kids will follow along and then perch themselves on their picnic blankets to enjoy. We will talk about nutrition and reading labels. After we are done eating, we will enjoy some fun and games!

Our free event is limited to 25 kids. One parent is welcome to stay for the duration. Please only register your child. Finally as our meeting is close to Halloween the children are welcome to dress up – this is optional.
