Be an Advocate for Change!
Join Celiac Canada in advocating for greater affordability and tax fairness.
We are asking individuals and families to write a letter to their Member of Parliament to highlight our community’s challenges keeping up with grocery costs and to encourage changes to the current tax regime for claiming the incremental costs of gluten-free food.
We’ve made it easy for you!
Step 1: Download the template letter.
Step 2: Personalize it!
-
Add your name and address at the end of the letter to show you are resident in their constituency/riding.
-
Add your own personal experiences with purchasing gluten-free grocery products. Keep it polite!
-
Challenges you have had with the current medical tax claim for the incremental cost of gluten-free food.
-
Do you claim it?
-
Have you stopped because it is too cumbersome or difficult or it just isn’t worth it?
-
Don’t qualify?
-
Step 3: Email your letter to your Member of Parliament and copy Melissa.secord@celiac.ca (so we can keep track of responses!)
Step 4: Donate!
