YYC Veggie Fest
Bowness Community Association T3B 4P9 Calgary, AB, Canada

Dear CVFF friends, Thanks for all your support for Calgary's Vegetarian Food Festival. In the last two years, we received huge support from Middle Path Buddhist Temple of Calgary, and 90% of our volunteers are from Middle Path.... Middlepath Meditation Center will start construction in 2018, and will keep most of our volunteers busy. In order to give them some breathing space, our committee has decided not to host CVFF this year. The positive side is, when the Mediation Center completes, CVFF will have a ZEN style home base :) and means many more events to come. Hope to see you again in the near future! Sincerely, Calgary Vegetarian Food Festival Committee
