Hey everyone, a few quick updates!
First, a reminder that this email list will be shut down imminently! If you wish to continue receiving updates, please sign up on the form on the website!
Three quick updates in this email:
Our all-new Vegan Venue Guide lists all Victoria's vegan venues, plus a huge number of places with substantial vegan offerings, and this includes up-island as well. Almost 50 listings, and 20 are fully vegan!

There's a new legislative petition to ban fur farms - did you know these are still a thing? There are still dozens across Canada, and we're paying for them, with over $27 million in taxpayer money dumped into them since 2019. Takes just a few seconds, here's the link:
https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5269
Final item this week: a couple weeks ago I posted about how Oreo cookies actually aren't vegan (despite some in the vegan world insisting they are), and had to update the piece as a few days later, PETA launched a campaign because their parent company is conducting animal testing, read more here:

If you're on Instagram or Facebook, feel free to give a follow there, you'll find other quick stories and topics not mentioned elsewhere, including a story posted just now about a new study on crustaceans like crabs, confirming they experience pain:
