All about Vegan Social Events
In September 2016, Love Wild Live Free hosted the first ever Toronto Vegan Social event, bringing together influencers and media makers for an evening of delicious vegan food and drinks. This event was unique to the vegan community and well received by all who were involved. The second event on July 2017, was open to the public and was a great success. The event sold out - with a line up out the door!

Shirt Activism is an awareness clothing company and everyday activism that's incredibly effective at starting great conversations and planting seeds. All of the pieces will feature sustainable material (including organic options), made with 100% no-sweatshop manufacturing in the USA and printed using water-based, eco-friendly ink.
Guests at the Vegan Social Pop-Up Event will have an opportunity to enter to WIN The Crop Top - a super cute crop T from the Love Wild Live Free Apparel Collection, a partnership with Shirt Activism!
We will be previewing the Fall/Winter collection at the event and guests will have an opportunity to enter to WIN The Crop Top - a super cute crop T!
Most importantly, $1 from every sale of the collection this upcoming season will be donated to Animal Justice, Canada's only animal law advocacy organization that works to pass animal protection legislation, push for the prosecution of animal abusers, and fight for animals in court. The work that Animal Justice does speaks to me on both a personal and professional level, as a lawyer and passionate animal rights activist. I could not be more thrilled to be supporting the fight for animal protection!
