Join us for a vegan version of the classic Thanksgiving meal. We have gathered some of the top vegan chefs in Vancouver, to offer a 4-course-meal, with new takes and creative twists on your holiday favourites. Local producers, ingredients, and flavours will be highlighted, to redefine tradition and how we give thanks: by keeping animals in our hearts only, and off our plates.
A portion of proceeds from this event will support Gertie the turkey, at Home for Hooves Sanctuary on Vancouver Island.

Gertie was being raised, along with several other turkeys, for Thanksgiving dinner. On one day at some point in the night she got on top of a hay rack, her foot got stuck and she fell. She hung there all night until a girl, who boards her horse on the farm, saw her hanging from the rack the following day. Her leg was partially severed and she suffered a compound fracture. The girls family tried to split and cast her leg but there was too much damage and due to lack of blood flow to the area her leg died and needed to be amputated at the knee. Gertie came to us because she would have likely died due to cramped conditions and difficulty obtaining food and water due to her mobility issues. Once Gertie’s leg is healed she will be fitted with a prosthetic or special mobility chair.
Partial proceeds from this event will support Gertie’s prosthetic or mobility chair.
