Ep 152 Holiday Survival Guide 2020

It's December and that means the arrival of the Holiday Survival Guide from the The Canadian Celiac Association.  On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the CCA about the guide, including some special covid related content.  It's a year like no other, we will all have to be content with smaller gatherings, but that doesn't mean we can't make those times special with traditional baking and giving.  Covid has taken a toll on a significant portion of our population, which we must remember and assist at this difficult time.  One initiative of the CCA is a program to identify gluten free donations to foods banks, so they can be saved for those requiring gluten free.  This year is very different, and the CCA has given us lots of ways to make it special.  You can find the guide on the CCA website at www.celiac.ca. Melissa also talked about a peer support desk that will be monitored during the month of December, and is prepared to answer questions to help those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity cope during the holidays.  You can reach the support desk at (905) 507-6208 ext 224 or toll free at 1-800-363-7296 or by email at [email protected].
