We are so excited to re-introduce the Toronto Vegetarian Association as VegTO! We’ve grown a lot since we were founded in 1945 – and so has the vegan movement. We recognize it is time to change our name to better reflect what we do and who we serve.

Thirty five years ago this month, we published this bread recipe in our members’ newsletter. Who wants to give it a try and see how it holds up?
It’s Friday! Whether you have internet or not, it’s a great time to get outside! Have a picnic, make an epic vegan charcuterie board, hit up a farmer’s market, go to the lake! What do you have planned this weekend?
As you’re planning your summer adventures after two years of no trips, keep in mind that as fun as something may be for you, if an animal is being exploited in the process it’s definitely not fun for them.
Just because you’re vegan does NOT mean you have to miss out on grilling season! Check out this great blog post from @rainbowplantlife on vegan grilling! Find the link in our bio and find out how to make a grilled romaine salad!
On Saturday June the 4th at @csitoronto on Spadina @socialherbivore will be hosting a ‘taste and buy’ of outstanding artisan vegan cheeses, vegan charcuterie, bread and of course Ontario Vino! There are two time slots to choose from and lots to sample! Tickets are only $30 (with $5 going to the Toronto Vegetarian Food Bank)
If you could never have one of these again, which do you say goodbye to? Avocado, oat milk, tofu, peanut butter, nutritional yeast, or beyond meat?
If the world was vegan, there would be so many more trees. 🌲🌴🌿🍃🌱🌳
Come work with us this summer! We’re hiring for three roles for folks under 30. Check the link in our bio or apply at veg.ca!
Ontario! Polls are open until 9pm tonight. Go vote! Voting is a great way to create change in our community.
We’re well into summer weather in TO now, so we thought we’d ask everyone how their gardens are coming along! I (Sarah) have some mint growing on the balcony and not much else, but am sure others have thriving plant babies! Tell us about them!
Oh hey! Our friends from @sausagepartytoronto have opened a storefront on St Clair! @auntyemsdeli opens today, and they’ll have sausage party faves, plus coffee, desserts, sandwiches and more! Go check them out!
Deeply Rooted is a new farmers market in the GTA for Black and Indigenous vendors. It’s first day was this past Sunday and it will run Sundays at 455 Cosburn from 9-2 throughout the summer. Have you visited yet?
Love is love. Happy Pride to our LGBTQIA2S+ community!
Looking for something to make this weekend? Fiddleheads are in season, and it is a very brief season! Get some at a farmers market this weekend and cook them up. How do you like to cook them? We like it simple. Oil, salt, garlic; lets you taste the fiddlehead!
Today at 4pm join our Board President Nital along with some amazing speakers for a talk on becoming a change maker, brought to you by @youth.social.impact
