= Quitters (A "What If" Bar) =
Welcome to Quitters a "What If" theme camp, where no one wants to know your burner name.
Quitters serves to provide a well deserved respite from, well, everything and everyone else out there.
We may no longer have any ceiling-dwelling sex toys, but we do have a collection of tastefully pasted photos of them. We still play music with words, we still like to sing along to our favourite songs, and we're a place where you can come to unwind and let your hair down (if you still have any).
So pull up a stool, order a drink, and leave your troubles at the door. We won't judge you for your wild past, as long as you're willing to embrace your newfound favourite bar (at least until the morning).
= A Word About Safety & Consent =
We take issues with consent or safety really seriously. Clear wording around consent and the code of conduct will be posted at the event.
We will be implementing a code of participant conduct similar to that of a GVIAS event. Also, if anyone is made to be felt uncomfortable by someone else, we reserve the right to ask that person to leave, even if that code of conduct has not been broken.
A safety volunteer will always be available handle any situation or concerns you may have.
We've extracted some of the core tenets of the GVIAS Participant Code of Conduct here for your convenience, wording at the door will extend off of this:
= Safety and Belonging =
We aim to create a safe space, and expect attendees and volunteers to create and maintain a space that is welcoming for all attendees. We do not discriminate based on sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, race, colour, socioeconomic status, age, marital and/or family status, or religion.Consent and Boundaries
Know your personal boundaries, and be comfortable expressing them.
Always ask about and respect the boundaries of others, even if you already know that person. Respect the moment and know that comfort levels differ at different times with different people.Consent is an agreement between two or more people to engage or not engage in specific activities together. Consent occurs when people willingly agree to the proposal or desires of the other. Under Canadian Law, only a clear and coherent “YES” means YES. Anything less is not consent.
