Join us at one of our favourite restaurants. The great thing about going with a group for Chinese food is that you get to try so many dishes.

For $23 CASH all in (tax & tip included), each person will get some of each of these 9 vegan dishes:
This event is CASH ONLY, CASH ONLY, CASH ONLY.

1. Delicious Spinach Thick Soup
2. Chili Tofu with Sesame Sauce
3. Po Kong Vegetable Deluxe
4. Bean Curd Skin Rolls with Black Bean Sauce
5. Sweet and Sour Pineapple Delight
6. Chili & Pepper Deep-fried Tofu
7. Steamed Bamboo Pith Vegetarian rolls
8. Chili Eggplant with Chu-Hau Sauce
9. Spicy Pan-fried Noodle with Vegetables

We'll be seated at large round tables. When you arrive, check with the host where to sit, and pay the cash collector at your table.

N.B. Please note, to maintain our positive relationship with the restaurant, those canceling with less than 24 hours' notice will be expected to pay the cost of their meal.

Those not answering the RSVP question will be automatically removed. If this happens to you, fear not, you are welcome to reregister.

Busses stop nearby and there's plenty of free parking, but it can take a while to find, so give yourself plenty of time to ensure you get there on time. Hosts want to finish collecting money and relax and enjoy the meal like everyone else.

P.S. This event is CASH only dude! Why do you think we get such a good deal? Please don't try to pay with a card and say you didn't know it was CASH ONLY.

Join host Brian for an old-fashioned blueberry U-pick at the cheapest place for blueberries in Metro Vancouver: $2 /lb CASH ONLY.

Welcome young and old! Includes a ride on the back of a pick up truck from the parking lot to the site! Buckets provided, but you can also bring your own.

Don't forget your water bottle and your hat.

It is possible to take transit to the U-Pick.
For example, starting at Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver, take the Canada Line train to Bridgeport Station. At Bay 9, take the 351 White Rock Centre bus. Exit the bus at Hwy 10 @ Hornby Dr. At the same stop, catch the 310 Scottsdale bus. Off on Hwy 10 @ 104 st. Walk 10 minutes north up 104 st and you'll arrive at the farm!
You can run a route on https://www.translink.ca to see what times, trains and buses to take.

Post in the comments if you need a ride or can offer a ride.

NB. These are not organic blueberries. According to (vegan) Dr. Michael Greger, studies have shown that organic produce may contain higher levels of certain antioxidants, but there isn't a significant difference in overall vitamin and mineral content compared to conventional produce. Dr. Greger emphasizes that the most important factor is simply eating enough fruits and vegetables.

Join us near Science World Skytrain for a vegan BBQ party. Children welcome.

Bring your own store-bought or homemade vegan patty to put on the BBQ. Don't forget your bun. Bring some pickles, mustard, ketchup, and other condiments to share if you have them. You can also bring potato salad, pasta salad or any other salads you would eat at a picnic to share--potluck style. Please note, all food should be vegan, meaning containing no meat, fish, eggs, dairy, or gelatin.

This event is rain or shine, as there is an indoor amenties room we can make use of if it rains. The picture shows only a small part of the whole area we have for this event.

We need a few volunteers to come early clean the BBQ and greet people at the front door, later volunteers to oversee the BBQ, and volunteers at the end to clean up. If you're coming on your own and don't know anyone, volunteering is a great way to make some new friends. Let your hosts know if you want to volunteer.
