Picnic in the Park

Vancouver summer is often short lived, we would love to celebrate the sunshine and good weather with you! Join us for a picnic on Saturday August 15 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm.

We will meet at Patterson Skytrain Station and walk together to the picnic location at Central Park in Burnaby. Food and beverages will be provided! Since there are very limited queer and trans outdoor events right now, this is the perfect opportunity to meet other local queer and trans young people while following the provincial covid-19 guidelines.
