Colleqtive (In-person) - Crafting Night!

*NEW LOCATION* We are now meeting at The Rainbow Room (750 11 St SW), where Outlink's new home is located!

When you arrive, dial the intercom code at the door to be let in (this will be provided later). Take the elevator to the 4th floor. Turn right when you come out of the elevator. The Board Room is on the left hand side. Please follow the signs to the room! We'll let folks in until 7:00, so please arrive before then!

Join us for an evening of crafting, colouring, drawing, writing, painting, or whatever your heart desires! We will have supplies available such as paper, markers, pencil crayons, paint, canvases, colouring pages, and beads. You're also welcome to bring your own craft to work on if you wish!

Colleqtive is a peer support group for racialized 2SLGBTQ+ community members. This includes community members who are Black, Indigenous, and people of colour. This group is a closed space, only for those who the group is intended for. Join us in a colleqtive community space together!

This group is not a structured therapy group nor is it a dating space. If you are looking for further support, Outlink staff are available to meet with you one-on-one or in small groups by phone, text-based messaging, or video call upon request. They can also help connect you to other counselling and support services.

Please note that this meeting is moderated by Outlink staff and volunteers who reserve the right to remove anyone from the group who is in violation of our Safer Space Ground Rules.
If you'd like to take any pictures of the room or the group, please ask facilitators and participants first.

Getting There:
Paid and free street parking is available in the area. The nearest LRT Stations are Downtown-West Kerby (blue line) and 8th Street (red line). Nearby bus routes include the #65 and #66. Other buses are nearby in the area as well.

Building Accessibility:
There is a ramp at the main doors. There is a lip at the bottom of the ramp, so it's not quite flush with the ground. There is an elevator in the building. Washrooms in The Rainbow Room are all-gender and have larger stalls in them.

Public health and the safety of our communities is very important to us! The following safety practices are put in place for our in-person programming:

• Wearing a mask is always welcome and encouraged.
• If you have any cold, flu, measles, or Covid symptoms (ex. fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, rash, etc), we ask that you please do not attend.
• The room can fit about 12 people comfortably.
