Câlincito
About this Event
ABOUT THE EVENT
You moved somewhere new. Maybe you found your people, maybe you didn't. Maybe you're still looking for the kind of connection that doesn't feel translated, the kind that just fits.
That's what Câlincito is for.
"An occasion for joy, love, spontaneity and awkwardness to flow freely. Speed dating reimagined from the warmth of Latin America."
WHAT TO EXPECT
Câlincito brings queer immigrants together through a speed dating format but forget everything you know about speed dating. This isn't polished. It isn't corporate. It isn't networking.
It's a room full of people who know what it's like to navigate this city from the outside in, showing up to hold each other with radical tenderness.
🤗
More hugs
We believe in physical warmth and closeness — not North American awkward distance.
✨
Beautiful awkwardness
We're not here to be polished. Awkwardness is welcome. It's kind of the whole point.
💬
Real talk
No small talk scripts. Shared lived experience makes conversation skip a few layers.
🌍
Community first
Meet people you share a world with — even if your countries were thousands of miles apart.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This event is made for you if you're:
- Queer identifying
- Living in Montréal
- An immigrant
- 1st or 2nd generation immigrant
- An ally who gets it
Latin American, Caribbean, African, Arab, South Asian, East Asian, and anyone who has ever felt both at home and a little lost in this city at the same time.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
Câlincito is a space of radical tenderness which means it's also a space of real safety. Our zero-tolerance policy covers:
01
Racism — no fetishization, no racial microaggressions, no "jokes."
02
Transphobia — all gender identities are valid, full stop.
03
Xenophobia — your accent, your origin, your status make you more welcome here, not less.
04
Discrimination of any kind — disability, body size, HIV status, relationship style — none of it is grounds for exclusion.
05
Non-consensual touch — enthusiasm is the bar. Ask. Accept "no" without negotiation.
Anyone who violates these values will be asked to leave, immediately and without refund.
