The Toronto Veggie Pride Parade will host celebratory events:

1. To be inclusive and welcoming and to show everyone that a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle is desirable
2. To set a positive example by standing proud and standing up for the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle
3. To show our true love of animals – including farmed animals
4. To celebrate our diet, which is healthier, more eco-friendly, apt to feed the poor, and fosters non-violence including between nations
5. To educate about the issues surrounding today’s cruel, unsustainable, and exploitative meat-, egg-, and dairy-production systems.
6. To encourage non-vegetarians—through advocacy and example—to join us in our compassionate way of living.
