A cornerstone of Metro Vancouver’s vegan scene is turning three years old.

Salim and Jennifer Jamal opened Karmavore Vegan Shop (610 Columbia Street) back in 2009 with a tiny storefront in New Westminster’s Sapperton neighbourhood. In December 2010, the region’s first vegan store moved to a two-floor space in downtown New West.

If you can’t make it over to the first-ever Victoria Vegan Festival on July 1, Karmavore’s third-anniversary party offers another opportunity to mark Canada Day in cruelty-free style. The variety store is promising a free cupcake or soft-serve ice cream to every customer who shows up between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. There’ll also be samples and promotions from local vendors and face painting for the kids.

You can follow Stephen Hui on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.

Everything in that store would be cheaper if the government subsidized vegan food the sam e as they subsidize the animals-for-food industry
