What we’re about
Food at our events is vegan but anyone interested in lowering their carbon footprint by eating more plant based meals, even if never planning to go fully vegan, is welcome. For safety reasons, we require members to use **a real first name and face photo** on their profile.
Meatless Meetup is run by a group of volunteer hosts who believe it to be of critical environmental importance that we drastically reduce our meat and dairy consumption. We recommend Earthsave Canada (https://www.earthsave.ca/) for information about the plant based diet.
There are lots of opportunities to volunteer with us, from collecting cash at restaurants to helping out at potlucks. If you want to meet more people at events, get in touch.
N.B. As last minute cancellations and no shows keep wait-listers out, harm our relationship with restaurants, and can even result in our volunteer hosts having to pay for others' meals, we require you to pay for your meal via e-transfer for set menu events if you no show or cancel without adequate notice. Repeated no shows will result in removal from the group.
Meatless Meetup aims to be a transparent, safe space for all. If you experience any form of harassment, please contact a host immediately.

Snackluck, Film, and Discussion
Vancouver Cohousing, 1733 East 33rd Ave., Vancouver, BC, CAIf you would like to learn more and be inspired about the progress in Canada regarding the wellbeing of animals, come and learn about the powerful and effective work of Animal Justice" https://animaljustice.ca/
Animal Justice’s lawyers work to pass strong new animal protection laws, to hold industries accountable for abusing animals, and fight on behalf of animals in court.
Join us for an uplifting 12-minute film followed by Q&A and discussion. Carlene Field will be our speaker. Carlene is Animal Justice's Development Manager. Most recently she worked at New Zealand's leading animal rights charity. Prior to that, she worked for the BC SPCA developing fundraising programs across BC.
You must be registered to attend. The event will be held at Vancouver Co-housing, an intentional co-housing community. As usual, we request a $2 donation for Vancouver Cohousing. Also please bring a vegan snack but be sure it includes NO NUTS or PEANUTS. (We have at least one person with an anaphylactic reaction to nuts, and one to peanuts.)
What's a snackluck? It's a low-stress potluck where each person brings a snack to share. Could be cookies, fresh fruit, veggies and dip, whatever you want. Just please make sure your snack contains no animal products--that means no meat, dairy, whey, gelatin, eggs, and seafood--so that everyone can partake.
Take note: While we're big fans of the plant-based diet, everyone who has registered is welcome, from omnivore to vegan (no pets please).
Sorry there is construction next door so you will need to park around the corner.23 attendees
