As the new year begins, we might add healthy eating as part of our new year resolution, and what better way to do it than by taking part in Veganuary!
Veganuary is an annual campaign to encourage and support people from all over the world to go vegan for January. Thankfully, Kingston’s restaurants and cafés have a wealth of great Veganuary choices to make your life that much easier.
