Queer Explorers! A Scavenger Hunt at VanDusen Gardens

Join us for a collectively self-guided tour of VanDusen Gardens in the early Spring season. We will have an opportunity to take in the new blooms and artwork scattered throughout the park. We’ll take a fancy stroll in The Elizabethan Maze, hop along the islands at The Stone Garden, and explore the Scottish Shelter. Don’t forget to dress for rain just in case, this is Vancouver after all!

Mycelium Description 

Mycelium is space for queer & trans youth 16-29 across what is currently known as BC, where we gather to center healing, pleasure, and justice in our lives as we envision and create a world liberated from HIV & Hep C stigma. 

We are committed to reducing stigma related to HIV & Hep C and to building communities where we feel safe talking about the highs and lows of sex, drugs, relationships and all the things that bring us pleasure. 

Land Acknowledgement 

Mycelium events take place on traditional, unceded territories of various First Nations in what is now colonially referred to as ‘British Columbia’. We hold this fact in our hearts and actions throughout our work at Mycelium. Our team is committed to an ongoing process of learning what it means to do work on this land in a way that brings us closer to Indigenous Sovereignty.
