Create Celiac Awareness by Inviting Your MP to Gluten-Free Breakfast
On the heels of Celiac Canada’s social media campaign on the Cost of Gluten-Free Food, they are asking for our help.
They are hosting their first ever breakfast reception on Parliament Hill for Members of Parliament and Senators on Monday, May 1 from 7:30 – 10am.
They want to kick off Celiac Disease Awareness Month and their 50th anniversary by educating Parliamentarians and Senators about key issues that impact you.
Members of Parliament are more motivated to attend an event when a local constituent contacts them.
