Time: 6-9pm

This is an animal-friendly event, so please bring a vegan dish to share (free of any animal products, including dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, whey and casein), serving 8, plus a plate, cup, and cutlery for yourself, and a serving utensil for your dish. If you’re not a cook or are pressed for time, no worries! Store-bought food is perfectly acceptable, as is bringing along a non-alcoholic beverage to share (ie. juice, non-dairy milk, coconut water). Please bring an ingredients list for your dish! 140 people attended last year, so this year we have rented a larger venue that will seat at least 150! It is a family-friendly event, so please bring your loved ones!
We are pleased to announce that Turtle Island Foods will be co-sponsoring the event again this year, which means that Tofurky roasts will be served for all!
This year we are also hosting a variety show during the dinner, showcasing the entertaining talents of our guests! So if you sing, play an instrument, tell jokes, or perform magic tricks, and would like to perform at the show, please pre-register your act by emailing radioanimalvoices@gmail.com
There will also be a raffle fundraiser with many great prizes to be won (see more below).
Tickets are $5 at the door for this fundraising event. Profits will go towards supporting Animal Voices, part of Vancouver Co-operative Radio, a not-for-profit organization. Animal Voices Vancouver is a weekly radio show airing every Friday at noon on 100.5fm CFRO, Vancouver Co-operative Radio, reporting on and delving into animal rights issues and the vegan lifestyle.
Please note that the venue is wheelchair accessible (just notify one of the event volunteers, when you arrive, that you will need access to the chair lift).
This event is all volunteer run, so we will need some great volunteers to help run the show! If you would like to help out, please email Alissa at radioanimalvoices@gmail.com
