VEGAN POTLUCK DINNERS
(Pat - 250-338-8684, Corenda - 250-339-1048, Joyce - 250-334-1708)
In co-operation with EarthSave, these folks put on potluck vegan dinners every few weeks in
Courtenay. Cool.
Vancouver Island locations require a ferry ride and approximately $40 each
way just for the
ferries (if you go without a vehicle it still runs
$15 return on foot, $20 return with a bike).
There are, however, many
places to play up and down the island so it can be worth it for a
mini-tour. The ferry out of Tswassessen (past Delta) takes you to Victoria
via Schwartz Bay
while the ferry out of Horseshoe Bay (In West
Vancouver/Squamish area) takes you to Nanaimo.
