The Vegan Society of Canada has been running on 100% volunteer power since the beginning. All donations are used only for the benefit of the organization. No volunteers, including directors, receive salaries or any other forms of payment. The vegan community has always been known for being active and giving back, and we are the grateful recipients of this generosity.
People who self-identify as vegan are a small portion of the population, and, like any organization, from time to time we must pay for various supplies and services when volunteers aren’t available to do this work.
We have been in a long drawn out process with various agencies of our government like the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Revenue Canada. The government continues to discriminate against people who self-identify as vegan and unfortunately, only lawsuits will get things to change at this point.
We are still looking to build an in-house legal department with volunteers, but until then we need your help. If you know anyone with legal expertise, please have them contact us. Otherwise, please consider making a donation.
We invite anyone interested to join us, and we thank you for your generous support as we continue to work to achieve our vision.
