🌈 Calling all NB+ community members! 🌈

Looking for a relaxed space to connect, unwind, and spend time with other non-binary+ folks? Join us for our monthly meet-up where community comes first, and we welcome everyone exactly as they are.

Think cozy conversations, low-key background music, creative activities, and the kind of atmosphere that feels like catching up with old friends. Whether you're looking to chat, create, play a game, or simply enjoy being around community, there's space for you here!

✨ Sometimes we'll have crafts or activities planned, but participation is always optional.
✨ We're proud to be a neurodivergent-friendly space where there's no pressure to socialize, engage, or show up in any particular way.
✨ Bring whatever helps you feel comfortable, from sketchbooks and knitting projects to fidgets and cozy slippers.

We'll also have a variety of community supplies available, including board games, fidgets, coloring pages, markers, paints, and other art materials.

📅 Saturday, October 24
🕒 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM
📍 514 St. Mary Ave.

We meet every 4th Saturday of the month.

Whether you're joining for the first time or returning to familiar faces, we'd love to share space with you. 💛

Don't miss Heel Appeal and Winnipeg Kiki Ballroom at The Category Is: Gala, presented by RBC.

The Category Is: Gala is the biggest fundraiser of the year for Rainbow Resource Centre. All funds raised go toward Rainbow's operations so we can continue to offer not only life-saving programs and services to 2SLGBTQ+ Manitobans, but also create spaces where 2SLGBTQ+ communities can thrive.

We're thrilled to work in partnership with local organizations and artists that support our vision for a world where diverse sexual and gender identities, orientations, and expressions are included, valued, and celebrated. Not only are you supporting the 2SLGBTQ+ community, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience.
