Pink Tea: if you know, you know, but in case you don’t…

When the Famous 5 were campaigning for women to have the right to vote and the right to run for elected office, their suffrage meetings were disrupted by their opponents. Women traditionally held teas for the birth of children, when someone left the community, or other reasons. Men didn’t attend these teas, so suffragists started calling their political meetings Pink Teas and very few opponents attended.

What the Famous 5 began, we continue! 🌺🍵 Bring a friend, colleague, or neighbour on July 4 starting at 2pm to begin a conversation of the issues most important to our community today and determine how we might take up ‘the mantle’. Free to attend!

​𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣

​Join us to kick off 𝙍𝙚𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙒𝙚𝙚𝙠 with an unforgettable night where burlesque brilliance collides with drag decadence. In a world that keeps trying to tone us down, we’re turning the volume all the way up. Expect a high-voltage celebration of Queer joy, unfiltered glamour, and glorious MISCHIEF.

Featuring fierce performances, sultry struts, and rhinestones sharp enough to cut glass, come ready to cheer, blush, and bask in the boldest expression of Pride in the central city.

​​Whether you’re proud out loud, or just here for the sequins, one thing’s for sure: existing beautifully and joyfully is the best kind of trouble we can make. This isn’t just a show - it’s a gem-stoned riot.

​COME FOR THE TEASE, STAY FOR THE REVOLUTION!

Downtown Branch - Snell Auditorium

• You probably have a lot of unanswered questions about trans people and issues.

• Maybe you’re worried about what’s being taught in the classroom, or about what healthcare services are being offered to trans youth.

• You’ve heard terms like “parental rights” thrown around. You haven’t felt able to ask your questions and get answers that make sense to you.

• We get it, we understand. But what’s the other side of the story?

Join us for an event filled with candid conversation. Hear from Victoria as they make the case for trans rights, and then dive into an interactive Question and Answer period where nothing* is off limits.

*Okay, there are exceptions – threats and personal attacks aren’t welcome.
