From thrift store owner on Queen St West to curator of Canada's first and only vegan marketplace in Vancouver. My mission statement has always been to use business as a force for good which is what drives me to curate events that incorporate giving back.

My ultimate objective is to establish a global marketplace where plant-based communities, businesses, educators, and leaders can thrive.

and just like that…

we’re canada's first and only vegan night market

In 2017, we introduced what happened to be Canada’s first all-vegan marketplaces in Vancouver, BC. Since that pivotal moment, we’ve successfully hosted numerous festivals, markets, and outreach programs.

In 2023 we reached another milestone, launching Vancouver’s first oceanfront market located at Locarno Beach which takes place every other Thursday from May 22nd - Sept 11th.

we’re kind of a big deal

Our goal is to create a upbeat, welcoming atmosphere where all walks of life engage in the plant-based industry and support small businesses while giving back to those in need.

Through our admission structure we’ve successfully raised over $60,000 which has gone to different animal not-for profits as well as donated over 35+ car loads of physical donations back into the Vancouver East Side through our community partner, Wish Drop-In Shelter.
