Vegan Hamilton Networking, These People Love Potlucks!

Hamilton has a fairly present vegan community. For example there are (mostly) monthly community potlucks. I'll keep you filled in, as they are open to anyone who is capable of making, or bringing a vegan dish. Usually hosted at the Jamesville community they are on hold for awhile while the organizers are moving.  There is a Facebook Group to keep everyone in touch but it is a closed group. Leave me a comment or send me off a message on facebook or at nickivarkevisser@yahoo.com if you want in and come eat some grub with us. The attendees very pretty widely in age, diet, and level of activism and it's a very welcoming mix of people. We usually eat then have some tea and sometimes watch a movie. The organizers (I'm not stating their names as I don't know if they want it on the internet) are very dedicated animal rights activists and run tons of demos if you're into that scene. Either way potlucks are an awesome way to get some great vegan cooking ideas and to enjoy a plate filled with a variety of different dishes and treats made by a variety of different people. It truly demonstrates that veganism is what you make it, you can go raw and be a health nut, or you can delve into the world of wondrously fatty and sweet vegan treats, or both. Variety is the spice of life. Here is a sample photo of my fully loaded plate from a vegan potluck.
