Our monthly guide to cheap and queerful events in the city that are FREE, PWYC or less than $10
Pride is over – now is the time for SHAME. Just kidding. You let loose for Pride, as is only right and proper, and nobody will remember that embarrassing thing you did. Now: July. A more subdued, but equally queer summer month. Relax, get out there, soak up some sun, and keep connected to your community.
Check back regularly for updates to this guide, and if we are missing your affordable event please get in touch at events@yohomo.ca.
