This Valentine’s, vegans and vegetarians in 20 cities across North America will be looking for love, thanks to a growing Canadian business, Find Veg Love (https://findveglove.com/). The brainchild of Ottawa vegans Karine Charbonneau and Andy Brighten, Find Veg Love launched in 2017 with a mission to help veg singles meet in person. So why speed dating? “We’ve been hearing consistently that our customers are tired of swiping – they want to meet other vegetarians and vegans in the real world,” explains Andy Brighten. “A structured event, run by a trained host, is the best way to make that happen.”

To eliminate awkwardness, Find Veg Love has designed a unique matching system. Attendees just log into the website and click who they like, during or after the event. “There’s no judgment or rejection, no pressure to tell your ‘date’ whether you like them, and no exchanging personal information,” the company explains. Results are confidential and attendees find out whom they match with by midnight.

The weeks leading up to Valentine’s, February 6-13, Veg Speed Date events will be taking place in 20 cities across Canada and the United States. Learn more at: https://findveglove.com/
