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!
Join the Mid-Island Gluten-Free Foodies as they dine at Boston Pizza in Nanaimo.
“We are a fun bunch who like to socialize and support one another as we live gluten free. Friends and significant others welcome. You do not need to be gluten-free to join us!”

- 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.

Gyro Park & Beach at Cadboro Bay
The legendary home of the “Cadborosaurus” sea serpent, Cadboro Bay is a partially protected bay with the kind of long, sandy beaches that make for sublime summer swimming, strolling and boating. The park has a replica of the Cadborosaurus creature, said to be a relative of the Loch Ness Monster. Caddy, as it is known, usually allows itself to be seen once or twice a year. Cadboro Bay’s beaches are well-equipped for family outings with picnic facilities, public washrooms and a children’s playground. Pack a snack from Pepper’s and enjoy!
Join the Mid-Island Gluten-Free Foodies as they dine at Boston Pizza at 5779 Turner Rd in Nanaimo.
Monday, February 3rd at 11:30am. RSVP to Anne at annezahara@shaw.ca or 250-240-0708.
