We want to thank Panago Pizza for providing vegan and gluten-free pizza to our volunteers! 🍕 We would also like to thank Save Da Seas for providing discount coupons to our attendees and volunteers! 🌊

Once again, we would also like to thank The Arusha Centre and Calgary Dollars for the Take Action Grant. This event wouldn’t have been possible without them. 

We would also like to give thanks to Community Natural Foods 🌱 for the $20 gift certificates, which we will be giving out to anyone who donates $20 or more to the Calgary Vegan Society. 🍄

We are absolutely overwhelmed with all the support and we greatly appreciate the trust the community has put in us for our first Vegan Spring Mini-Fest. 😇


Fun fact! The gladiators and philosophers of an ancient era were knowledgeable that eating a plant-based diet was beneficial for reaching peak overall and physical wellness – Katharina C. Wirnitzer from Vegan Nutrition: Latest Boom in Health and Exercise


“Plants are infinite – this diet isn’t limiting and there’s so much more to explore! That’s what excites me about it most.” Denai Moore on the Simply Vegan Podcast


Take care,
