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.
Fuelled by a passion for animal liberation, exploration, and ultimately making the world a better place, I strive to align myself with individuals and opportunities that enable positive expansion.
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 proudly achieved the distinction of establishing Canada's first all-vegan marketplace 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, that just happens to be 100% plant-based.
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 $47,000 which has gone to different animal not-for profits as well as donated over 30+ car loads of physical donations back into the Vancouver East Side through our community partner, Wish Drop-In Shelter.
