Indemnity Information:

Accidents arising from recreation activities occasionally happen.

You also agree to waive all rights of subrogation or recourse against The Outpost Board Game Cafe and their affiliates as a result of participating in this event.

Plain language: Participate at your own risk.

Every child deserves to play freely, to laugh loudly, and to explore the wonders of the world in a joyfully inquisitive way. Every child deserves the opportunity to try something new, to connect with nature, and to do so without the judgmental and scrutinizing gaze of the people around them.

Unfortunately, for Black, Indigenous and Children of Colour, they often don't get these opportunities.

These children often face barriers when it comes to… being a kid. Barriers to participating in activities like finances, travel, time, lack of knowledge, stigma, fear for safety, and even just feeling like they’re going to stick out or be the only racialized kid there.

• Fun and welcoming
• Open to children who identity as BIPOC and their immediate families/caregivers (White presenting kids with racial hertitage, white family members/caregivers - warmly welcomed. )
• Intended to build community. Come ready to meet and talk with new people.

We are so grateful to be running another year of the Be a Kid program funded by the Government of Canada (Financé par le gouvernement du Canada). This program supports our members, the public, and their racialized kids in creating community. This program will help to create opportunities for Black, Indigenous and Children of Colour to connect with each other, in a psychologically and culturally safer environment, while participating in an activity they may otherwise not.

And a BIG thank you to The Outpost Board Game Cafe for partnering with us to bring such a fun opportunity to our Be A Kid families. They can be reached via the link to their website: https://www.theoutpostboardgamecafe.com/
