Montreal Vegan Festival in November

For those who want to live healthier and eat healthier, don’t miss the third edition of the Montreal Vegan Festival, which takes on November 5 and 6 at Bonsecours Market in Old Montreal.

Visitors to the festival will get the chance to discover new vegan products, while finding out about the many health, ethical and ecological aspects that go along with veganism. It begins with a special launch screening of the documentary “Ghosts in Our Machine” on November 4 at 7 p.m., which will be followed by a Q&A session with the film’s director Jo-Anne McArthur. As well, Dr. David Jenkins will conduct a lecture dealing with the human and environmental health benefits of a plant-based diet, and Olympic alpine skier Seba Johnson will be at the festival to talk about how being a vegan at birth helped her to become the champion athlete that she is today. As well, the festival will feature plenty of vegan cooking demonstrations and free food tastings from over 40 vegan food companies. For more information about the festival, go to:
