If you know us at Foxglove Wellness, you know we like to work hard…but play harder!
On Sunday July 9, we are throwing a back alley Tie Dye Party! Get your fav white threads out or purchase one of our “love everybody” Cotton T’s (preorder available in our online store) and transform them into summer rainbow styles.
Kind Ice cream will be slinging their “Gay-OK” scoops along with some other fan favs, SYC brewing will be serving up tasters from their mini truck of their beers and ciders, and the QTHC + Peer N Peer will have a booth set up with various harm reduction and safer sex supplies which are free for community members to take.
Peer N Peer will also have staff on-site to answer any questions. They will provide a Naloxone demonstration and show attendees how to use fentanyl test strips. Their team is also very excited to speak about some of the exciting new work they’ve done this year, including the development of a mental health support program, Bloom, and the development of a province-wide 2S/LGBTQIA+ substance use survey.
Join us for a fun afternoon of safe substance use education, safe sex education, scoops, drinks, tunes, and of course TIE DYE!!!
Tie Dye kits will be available by donation at the event or pre purchased online ($5 minimum) and 100% of funds raised will be directly contributed to the Peer N Peer and the ongoing work they are doing in the community.
This event is ALL AGES, ALL FOLKS. If you’re coming, just be kind babies and love everybody.
The Queer & Trans Health Collective (QTHC) is a grassroots health organization run by and for the queer and trans community to promote equitable opportunity for health and well-being for our community members. We run free health leadership programming, lead community-based research, provide direct support to community members, and host healthcare provider training. Our Peer N Peer program is a harm reduction program promoting safer substance use and informed sexual decision making designed to meet participants where they are at. The program offers harm reduction supplies, peer based counseling, and service navigation support.
