Gluten-Free Events Calendar
If it’s gluten free and happening in Victoria, Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands, you’ll find it listed here! From tastings to contests, farmer’s markets to food trucks – this is your calendar to Gluten-Free Paradise! Join Victoria’s Gluten-Free Foodies and add a new restaurant – and possibly a new gluten-free friend – to your repertoire!

- https://bostonpizza.com/en/menu/pizza/glutenwise-1.nanaimo.html
With every gluten-free order, a new, dedicated prep line is set up in the kitchen. This means that the area is sanitized, a complete set utensils are used and new ingredients / toppings are taken out of refrigeration. All ingredients have been vetted to be gluten-free and all gluten-free meals have been developed and constructed to be safe for celiacs. Chefs wash their hands before beginning preparations and they stay on the single task of preparing a meal from start to finish.
Boston Pizza uses All But Gluten Gluten-Free Buns for their Chicken Club Sandwich and Burgers.
Fun skate from 2:45 to 3:45 (admission and skate rental at the door). Meet members of the Victoria Grizzlies hockey team!

Celiac Canada is organizing “Shine A Light on Celiac Disease” for International Celiac Disease Awareness Day by illuminating locations across the country in green. That includes the Parliament Buildings of BC’s Legislative Assembly – for the first time!
The BC Legislature has accepted Celiac Canada’s request to be lit up GREEN on the evening of May 16th.
Please join us to get a photo together! We can’t meet too early, as we want the light to show up, so we’re hoping all convene at 8 PM at the cenotaph.
Please take & post pics on social media using #ShineALightOnCeliac!
