About Us
Black Vegans of Toronto is a support group for Black Canadians who are vegetarian, vegan, or raw foodies and those interested in changing to a plant-based vegan lifestyle. We support each other and respectfully encourage our families, friends, and all Black Canadians to adopt this very healthful, disease-preventing lifestyle.
The motivation to start this group came from the (not very public) alarming fact the black people in Canada are critically unhealthy. Black Canadians are very high on the list of those suffering from food-borne diseases like Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Obesity, Parkinson's, and Lupus.
A plant-based lifestyle can prevent, and in some cases, cure as much as 80 percent of these illnesses.
Our purpose is to have a support group for Black Canadians who are vegetarian, vegan, or raw foodies and those interested in changing to a vegetarian and ultimately plant-based vegan lifestyle. Also, we want to lovingly and respectfully encourage our families, friends, and all Black Canadians to adopt this very healthful, disease-preventing lifestyle.
We also cultivate a 10 acre fruit and vegetable farm (Atiba Farm) in Alliston, Ontario to actively address food justice, food deserts, childhood obesity, and other food-related issues that affect Black Canadians and our families.
