Body Pride: Clothing-Optional Walk and Bike Ride for Body Freedom

Saturday, June 10th, 1pm
@ Church and Wellesley
Body Pride is a challenge to the escalating attacks against our bodies. It is a display of queer and gender diverse expressions, and an acceptance of all bodies. Click here for full details...

Artists, Cosplayers, Performers Wanted!

Artists play a pivotal role in social change. If you have capacity to help get complex ideas across in piecemeal, accessible, and entertaining forms, we could use your help. We're especially looking for people who can collaborate on creating content slowly over a long period of time, but we're appreciative of the time and labour of artists in whatever forms are accessible. Body Pride is an example of the type of event where we would like to feature political art and perfomances. Please also see our Help Needed page.

Abolitionist Dyke March & Pride Parade
Saturday, June 25th, 1pm
Sunday, June 26th, 1pm

Publicly, QTCASE is best known for its Anti-corporate Pride protests and against other non-profits. Given recent changes at Pride (as a result of BLM protests), we're taking a step back from Anti-Pride protests. Instead, we invite community discussions about reshaping queer and trans representation. We'll do our part in facilitating discussions.

We will still crash the parade without registration, and bring messaging targeting issues such as unaccountable non-profits, homelessness, encampments, social housing, and the opioid crisis.

There are tentative plans for organizing a Reclaim the Streets event on September 24, 2022.
