Access Information:

This is a mask-required event (high-quality mask required e.g. N95, KF94, KN95). Masks will be provided at the door for those who do not bring one. Refreshments are sold by the venue and there is a separate designated area on the ground floor to unmask for eating and drinking. Please note the venue is in the style of a loft so the upstairs event space is not fully enclosed. The venue is wheelchair-accessible, with elevator access to the event space and wheelchair-accessible washrooms. Front-row wheelchair-accessible seating can be booked (please email this as an access request). ASL interpretation will be provided. Please send access requests at least one week in advance of the event to [email protected].
