Celiac Market. Held at the Parkdale Community Centre, 30 vendors showed off
their gluten-free wares to a burgeoning Calgary market.

As the event’s name implies, the central focus of each
culinary offering was wheat- and gluten-free goods -– but I scoped out a whole
whack of vegan-friendly goodies. According to Canadian Celiac Association’s Calgary-based
program coordinator Kathy Collier, there is some overlap in the Venn diagram of
packaged vegan and gluten-free foods because lactose intolerance and wheat
sensitivities often “go hand in hand.”
