living turkey thanksgiving
On October 13th, we gathered with like-minded friends to celebrate Thanksgiving in a truly compassionate way, alongside the beautiful turkey rescues at Rixen Creek Micro Farm Sanctuary. It was a day filled with warmth, connection, and appreciation for all living beings. The animals were the true stars of the event, receiving the love and care they deserve while reminding us of the deeper meaning of kindness.
The celebration highlighted the spirit of gratitude, not just for the food we share but for the lives we protect. As we enjoyed plant-based dishes and heartwarming conversations, the joy was felt by everyone—especially the turkeys, who were at the heart of it all.
We'd especially love to thank our sponsors for this event:
- Save-On Foods
- Safeway
- Kootenay Cooperative
Stay tuned for more events that bring us together to celebrate compassion and humanity in every sense!
