Showcase for Planet Friendly Living

VANCOUVER, Canada – EPIC: The Vancouver Sun Sustainable Living Expo returns for its fifth year as Western Canada’s largest smart lifestyle consumer tradeshow and eco-marketplace. Happening at the Vancouver Convention Centre West from May 13-15, EPIC features hundreds of companies and products to help consumers live, play and work in a more sustainable way.

EPIC Vancouver brings together over 300 exhibitors, providing consumers with a wide variety of the latest high quality, stylish sustainable products and services; with everything from food to fashion, weddings, home décor, health and beauty, transportation and more.

This year’s EPIC Main Stage speakers include influential child advocate and New York Times best-selling author Richard Louv, whose appearance at EPIC is the launch of his Canadian book tour for his latest work: “The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder”.

Visitors will also be treated to the entertaining commentary of Canadian television and radio personality George Stroumboulopoulos, who will provide his unique perspective and opinion on the environment and what it actually means to “live sustainably”.

Produced by the world-renowned GLOBE Foundation, EPIC has something for everyone. At the EPICurean Food Corner sample the best organic beer, wines, and gourmet edibles, while learning about the benefits of buying local, sustainably grown foods. Learn through cooking demonstrations with Vancouver’s top Green Table chefs. The Fashion Marketplace is full of the latest styles in eco-fashions and valuable information about how sustainability is impacting the fashion industry.  The kids will have fun in the EPIC KidZone – an area filled with hands-on, kid friendly exhibits. And the Wellness Spa offers yoga, mini-massages, eco-makeovers, and more.

The EPIC Workshop Zone will feature expert speakers discussing everything from creative recycling tips, to the use of solar water heating in the home. These hands-on workshops provide valuable expert advice on how to safely and successfully create a greener home for you and your family.
