Another delightful stall set up at the monthly vegan night mākete (market) in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

The Christchurch community continues to grow as local volunteers remain steadfast in their vision of a sustainable plant based food system. 🤌🏼🌱

Another wonderful community meal shared yesterday! 🌱🥂

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at Junction 142 for our monthly community lunch. It was a pleasure to share a vibrant Thai-themed plant-based feast while being treated to beautiful songs and piano by local musician, Ruth Lockley.

A real highlight was Colleen and her family choosing to celebrate her birthday with us, with her de-facto daughter in law taking the mic to share the news. Moments like this are exactly what these lunches were created for: a space that belongs to the community, where people feel free to gather, share, and celebrate together. Happy birthday again, Colleen! 🥳

This month we featured the Blue Mountains Interfaith Group and their work in fostering local connection. We also welcomed Cat from the Plant Based Treaty Australia & New Zealand, who is visiting the mountains and introduced this exciting initiative to embed food systems solutions to safeguard the health of people and planet.

Huge thanks to our kitchen team: Myung Hwa, our matron Aunty Carol, Elizabeth, vice matron Suzie, Sue, Tim and Teya.

We have plenty more coming up – including the Mental Wellness Weekend at the Blue Mountains Planetary Health Initiative (Sat 28 Feb & Sun 1 Mar) and our Women’s Day celebration on 8 March.

City of Vincent has become the first council in Western Australia to support the Plant Based Treaty 🌱

In a 5–1 vote, councillors recognized the critical role of food systems in tackling the climate crisis and committed to exploring plant-based principles across city operations, sustainability plans, and community health.

This is how local governments lead. Support the shift to a plant-based food system: PlantBasedTreaty.org/Donate

Plant Based Treaty Ōtautahi returned to the wonderful wee market at this morning 🌞

They connected with many people — vegans and the vegan-curious alike — with one person so moved by the message (pictured first) that she said she would take the vegan starter guide and watch every documentary listed 🙌🏼

Who would like to see Ōtautahi Christchurch become the first city in Aotearoa NZ to endorse the Plant Based Treaty? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🤞🏼🌱
