Not a lot of action here. Very surprising given the recent explosion of vegan and vegetarian restaurants and businesses in Vancouver. Maybe I'll have to get some discussion going.

Join Anthony Marr and Vancouver Animal Defense League in asking for ban of shark fins in Burnaby


Date: Monday June, 25th, 2012
Time: 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Location: Burnaby City Hall, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC V5G 1M2


The Vancouver Animal Defense League is joining the fight to save our finned friends! We want to see shark fins banned not only in Vancouver, but we are pushing for a simultaneous ban in Burnaby, Richmond AND Vancouver.
We want the sale, possession and trade of shark fins to be banned outright in all three cities.


On June 25th we will be appearing before the city council of Burnaby to speak for our finned friends. Vancouver activist Anthony Marr will be speaking and he has only 10 minutes to convince the city why this ban should be put into place. The meeting room fits 90 people and we want to make sure there is standing room only.


We will be arriving at city hall an hour before the meeting starts to rally for the sharks. Bring your signs and banners!


This demo is one of the most important we will see all year, bring your friends and family!


Email vancouveranimaldefenseleague@live.ca for more information.

Great stuff Richard - Thanks for sharing! :)

I now have my ticket north & while I've taken a ferry, a train, cars & even walked across the line, this will be my first time flying to Canada! I hope to visit Nelson & the Kootenai's, may head up to the Rockies, plan to visit Vancouver a fair bit & will of course be at the VeganFest in Victoria. I hope to see some of y'all soon! :)

It's the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale! April 21-29, all around the world, folks are baking to raise money for nonprofits. It's bake-tivism, baby. Be a part of it. All funds raised will go to Portland Animal Welfare, Friends of Trees, and Team Rubicon Disaster Relief.

Be an even keener shade of green and bring your own to-go container. Impress your friends! The bake sale will be at the Mississippi Marketplace (the carts at N. Skidmore and N. Mississippi).

Looks like the vegans in Victoria are keeping busy! I'm going to be at this one if at all practical for me. Let's do a Volentia meet-up there! Who's in? :)
