Tiptoe Through the Tulips!

Join us as we “stop and smell the flowers” at the Tulips of the Valley Festival in Chilliwack! We will walk through the tulip fields - you will have a chance to pose for some Instagram photos (new phone background, anyone?) and maybe eat a stroopwaffel or two! We will also be discussing visibility – how does it feel when our identities are recognized and validated? Are there times that it feels better to blend into the crowd?

We will be meeting at the Tulips of the Valley Festival between 12:30 and 1 PM. Don’t worry about your entrance fee or snack costs – this event is free :)

Mpowerment is a queer-centered, trans-inclusive, and gender affirming space for young adults (19 - 29 years old) to meet, make friends, and talk about the highs and lows of sex, drugs, relationships and all the things that bring us pleasure. We work to create safer spaces for all young people including those of us living with HIV. 

This event will be taking place on the traditional ancestral territory of the Stó:lō Nation.
