In response to Community Natural Foods terminating support of individuals who are exempt from wearing face coverings, including those who require use of face shields, we are compiling a list of former customers who will no longer support locations in Calgary. This list will be delivered to management in-person, as demonstration of how the decision to no longer uphold human rights, affects the success of their stores. Curb-side pickup is not a suitable alternative in a time where social gathering is banned, and individuals depend on the interaction they receive in-store to engage in human interaction. Community foods has been a long-standing favourite for many Calgarians, it is with sincere remorse we withdraw our financial support of the business.

The momentum behind this push proves that our community is paying close attention to these exclusionary policies. Please email your local store manager today to demand they reverse this decision. Post this link on your Facebook page to ensure our message reaches every former customer who needs to see it.

Was a long time customer of CNF. I would spend around 150$ EVERYWEEK at your stores. No more. AMARANTH is the place to be. Not only do they sell organic CANADIAN foods, I'm not judged for not being able to wear a medical device.
I entered the downtown CNF 2 weeks ago where I have been shopping for over 10 years and asked to speak to the manager about the Alberta Human Rights Act. Within 3 minutes of our conversation she had security call 911. I will never shop at CNF again!
CNF has been my favorite go to sorrow for many items. I will no longer be shopping there due to not honoring medical exemptions. The thing that bothers me the most is this policy goes against what they say their core values are.
I am disappointed that a store that stands for health and wellness is not standing for medical compassion. I have already sourced different places to get the goods and will not be returning, nor will I recommend to others.
I will no longer be supporting them even though I have been shopping there since the early ‘90s when they were located on the corner of 10th Ave. and Memorial Dr., NW, Calgary. I am so disappointed but I will support other businesses.
loyal customer for 10+years - until now that is. I guess I will support big box stores that honour mask exemptions instead of the small business that are vital to our economy.
Health food store? They don't even do their research. Clown show. Support other businesses that respect your rights.

As a mom of a special needs kiddo that felt welcome doing in store shopping. Our community is small but we stand by our kids and we don’t take an extra barrier lightly in this already hard journey we have to face, even prior from Covid.
