*** - Pediatrician Talk & SnackluckVancouver Cohousing, Vancouver, BC
Details TBA
What to bring? Not casseroles or lasagnas or main course dinner meals, but pretty much anything plant-based that you enjoy eating as a snack is A-OK. We'd like to request something other than chips & crackers, only because we usually get way too many, and no peanuts or peanut butter because two people at Co-Housing have allergies (anaphylactic) to peanuts. Please make sure your snack contains no animal products--that means no meat, dairy, whey, gelatin, eggs, and seafood--so that everyone can partake.
Also please bring a $2 cash donation to cover Vancouver Cohousing's cost of hosting us (hot water, soap, TP etc.).

- Solstice Beach Party at Kits BeachThe Boathouse Restaurant, Vancouver, BC
This is our annual meetup on the beach to celebrate Solstice. Some amazing vegan food companies have talked about attending our event this year, so stay tuned.
Bring your own towel or blanket to sit on and some vegan snacks to share, such as strawberries, blueberries, popcorn etc.
We're not meeting AT the Boathouse restaurant. We will be directly in front of the restaurant but very close to the water not the restaurant. All attempts to have signs over the years have resulted in the signs blowing over. You will find us by walking along the water's edge NOT by walking along the path beside the restaurant.
Here's a map of approximately where we'll be: https://goo.gl/maps/jzTtiQqNZdBYrxJ1A
June solstice is the longest day of the year because the length of time between sunrise and sunset on that day is the yearly maximum. Daylight on Solstice this year will last 16 hours and 15 minutes.
We won't stay crazy late but sunset will happen at about 9:22 pm and so we won't probably leave before 9:30.
P.S. Let us know if you are going to arrive late but it's best to arrive early. Please arrive before 7:15.
NB. In the case of any rain that day, the event will be postponed to Sunday. Please note: If it is sunny at 6:00 but the sand is wet from rain earlier, the event is still postponed.
- Volunteer Work Day & Potluck at Hearts On Noses Pig Sanctuary - TBCHearts On Noses A Mini Pig Sanctuary, Mission, BC
Join us in helping out with important tasks and getting ready for spring at the sanctuary, all the while getting to know some of the HONs residents, as well as some fellow animal lovers! We will have a tour of the sanctuary at the beginning.
Located in Mission, BC, Hearts on Noses (HONs) was established in 1999 by Janice Gillett, as a rescue sanctuary for potbellied pigs. The sanctuary now provides a home for various breeds of pigs (27 in total), plus 3 dogs! The sanctuary is a place where these animals have found refuge from the harsh world that sees them as little more than pieces of property. Tasks at this event may include: filling pigs' water dishes, removing poop from their houses (each pig has a "house" with a yard), shoveling mulch, and shoveling gravel. There will also be lots of time to visit with the animals.
Drivers are definitely needed to get out to the sanctuary, so please post if you have a vehicle, if you are willing to drive others, and what city/part of the city you are in (passengers pitching on gas is definitely welcomed and a kind gesture!)
Dress for the weather, and wear clothes you don't mind getting muddy! Bringing work gloves would be a great idea too (although they can also be provided).
We will have a vegan potluck to celebrate after our hard work! Please bring a plant-based dish to share, with no animal products, including dairy, honey or gelatin. Please bring your own cutlery and plates if possible!
Sorry, this isn’t an event for children, due to safety reasons.
Visit www.heartsonnoses.com to find out more about this haven for pigs!
