Celiac Canada (CCA)
Providing education, resources, services and advocacy and to support for people who requires a gluten-free diet, Celiac Canada’s vision is to have every person with celiac disease diagnosed and empowered (1.9% of the population, more than men).
As an organization, the CCA has brought provincial organizations together and been able to interact with individuals, medical professionals, medical researchers, food manufacturers and suppliers and various government agencies in ways that single individuals couldn’t attain. At the governmental level, the CCA has worked extensively with Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to make sure government policy supports the safest possible food for people with a medical need for gluten-free food.
