Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Vegetarianism has been the source of nourishment and energy throughout the past. For over thirty years, World Vegetarian Day has been observed uniting vegetarians from all over the world.
Acknowledging the significant number of participants at the Parliaments who adhere to traditions where a vegetarian diet is essential to their religious or spiritual practices, Tuesday, December 8, 2009 has been designated as "Vegetarian Day".
Catering provided on-site in the Parliament venue will be a gourmet selection of healthy, protein-based vegetarian meals. Local eateries within a short walking distance of our venue will both provide vegetarian and non-vegetarian options to meet all preferences.
