Canada Vegan Activities including Attractions & Vegan Shopping
In addition to activities specifically created for us vegans like vegan surf camps, vegan yoga retreats, and vegan tours, many of the activities we vegans enjoy doing while traveling abroad, as well as in our home towns, often reflect out compassionate outlook on life. For example, most vegans would never go to a zoo or aquatic park, but we would happily visit national parks and protected conservation areas.
Attractions we vegans enjoy
What attractions do we vegans like going to when we are traveling? Most vegans would love going to protected nature conservation areas like the Galápagos Islands where we can see undisturbed nature and animals roaming freely in their natural habitats. Learn which attractions your fellow vegans enjoy going to when they are traveling and those attractions local vegans would recommend for visitors to their own hometowns. And please share the attractions you’ve most enjoyed visiting, both while traveling abroad and in the region you live. Some attractions examples include the landmarks, museums, and national parks and conservation areas you and your fellow vegans really enjoyed on your holiday travels. And for those facilities that have cafeterias or provide meals, please also review the vegan meal options they offer. With your help, and the help of our vegan community, this page can truly reflect the attractions we vegans most enjoy visiting.
Vegan Shopping
Not that long ago it was challenging trying to find quality vegan clothes, shoes, and clothing accessories. And only a handful of grocery stores had a good selection of vegan groceries. Luckily, interest in vegan groceries and ethical clothing has been growing steadily. These days, we have loads of vegan shopping options available to us. From basic vegan ware to the most elite and fashionable vegan clothing outlets and vegan shoe stores. We vegans have so many options to choose from. Almost all grocery stores now carry a wide variety of ready to serve vegan items we can easily prepare at home, and we even have completely vegan grocery stores, which well deserve our patronage. When we travel it’s fun to explore and patron vegan shopping establishments. And these days, no matter where we travel, there are amazing vegan shopping options to choose from. Some countries have lots of stores stocked with vegan wares, and many have a wealth of 100% vegan food stores and clothing outlets to choose from. This page contains some of the best vegan shopping. The vegan stores listed below were dynamically generated and sorted by your reviews and the reviews of your fellow vegans. We accept no advertising. Our goal is to provide a platform that truly respects and mirrors our collective vegan opinions and perspectives. As our global vegan community adds additional vegan and vegan-friendly listings, and as we review and rate our favorites, the resulting listings will continually, and more accurately, reflect our global vegan shopping preferences.

Robert Pim Butchart, a pioneer in the thriving North American cement industry, was attracted from Owen Sound, Ontario to Canada’s West Coast by rich limestone deposits. In 1904, he developed a quarry and built a cement plant at Tod Inlet (on Vancouver Island) to satisfy Portland cement demand from San Francisco to Victoria. Jennie Butchart became the company’s chemist. Close to the quarry, the Butcharts established the family home complete with sweet peas and rose bushes.
As Mr. Butchart exhausted limestone deposits, his enterprising wife Jennie, made plans to create something of beauty in the gigantic exhausted pit. From farmland nearby, she had tonnes of top soil brought in by horse and cart and used it to line the floor of the abandoned quarry. Little by little, the quarry blossomed into the spectacular Sunken Garden.
Between 1906 and 1929, the Butcharts created a Japanese Garden on the seaside, an Italian Garden on their former tennis court and a beautiful Rose Garden. Mr. Butchart took great pride in his wife’s remarkable work. An enthusiastic hobbyist, he collected ornamental birds from all over the world. He kept ducks in the Star Pond, noisy peacocks on the front lawn and many elaborate birdhouses throughout the gardens.
The only surviving portion of the original cement factory is the tall chimney of a long vanished kiln still seen from the Sunken Garden lookout. The plant stopped manufacturing cement in 1916, but continued to make drain tiles and flower pots until 1950. Some of the original flowering cherry trees which extended from West Saanich Road to The Gardens’ entrance may still be seen.
The renown of the family owned gardens is widespread. Each year over a million bedding plants in some 900 varieties give you uninterrupted bloom from March through October. Almost a million people visit annually for spring’s colourful flowering bulbs; summer’s riot of colour, entertainment and Saturday Fireworks; fall’s russets and golds; the Magic of Christmas’ decorations; and winter’s peacefulness.

Of the 28km that make up the Greenway, the Seawall occupies 9km (approximately a one hour bike ride’s worth).
Dinosaur Provincial Park was established by the government of Alberta on June 27, 1955.
