* Accessibility details:

This is a child-friendly event so please do bring your children and we ask
everyone to please respect and celebrate that children will be in the
space. There will also be free childcare on-site in an adjacent room.
Please let us know if you have any specific childcare needs and any
pertinent information (eg allergies). We are expecting approximately 25
children so if you are able to let us know the age of your child in
advance that would be helpful.

The lunch we are serving is wild salmon (from the Heiltsuk nation), there
will also be vegan and vegetarian and gluten free chickpea stew.

Whisper translation will be available from English to Spanish, Arabic,
Punjabi and Farsi. We are in the process of confirming further languages.
Please note some of the speakers will be briefly speaking in their own
(non-English) languages - given our organizing in communities of colour
and anticolonial self-expression, these presentations will *not* be
translated into English.

There will be ASL interpretation and the video we are screening will be
captioned.

We will have one-zone bus tickets available at the welcome table. If you
are a coming from the DTES area, there will be a van providing free
transport at around 12:30 pm.

being held is on the 2nd floor, access to which is by two flights of
stairs or a wide elevator. The room has two large inward swinging doors
