Queer Calgary is happy to announce our first ever Cooking Class! This isn't just a class though, we will also be spending time connecting, making friends, developing new skills, and how to shop and cook on a budget while still preparing some amazing meals! These events will be happening on a monthly basis and will each be a unique experience that does not require attendance at prior events. This months theme is... 🥔 Potatoes Three Ways! 🥔 In this lesson, we will be learning how versatile the potato can really be! We will be making Mashed Potatoes, Baked Potatoes, and Roasted Potatoes! Along with discussing all the various ways you can make the dish your own. These dishes will all be gluten free & vegetarian with the option to sub out ingredients to make them Vegan & Lactose free. We did our absolute best to ensure our ingredients are actually gluten free, but please use your best judgment. You can always email us to get a full list of ingredients & brands beforehand. Sign up today via the link in our bio! 📅 Date & Time: August 23rd - 1:30PM - 4:30PM 📍 Location: Carya Village Commons - 610 8 Ave SE #110, Calgary, AB T2G 5B4 🎫 Tickets Available: 15 (This may increase for future events!) 💸 Cost: $10 (This is to help cover the costs of the space & ingredients, if the cost is an issue, please email us at hello@queercalgary.ngo) We can't wait to have a fun afternoon cooking with you!

Queer Joy in the Face of Anti-2SLGBTQ+ Hate - Queer Joy! Project
Come make art and community! There are two upcoming Queer Joy! Project workshops:
On Sunday, August 24th, we'll collage, make zines, and talk about celebrating queer and trans joy in times of rising hate.
On Saturday, August 30th, the workshop will focus on sapphic joy, and anyone is welcome to join the gathering who identifies with the category 'sapphic' (e.g., lesbian, woman-loving, etc.) . We'll be collaging, making zines, and talking about the sapphic experience and of course sapphic joy! This event is in partnership with Lavender Club YYC. Please note that the term sapphic is inclusive of trans and non-binary sapphic folks!
These events are for 2SLGBTQ+ people 18-35. All art supplies will be provided.
The events will begin at 11:30am at a downtown Calgary location (location will be sent to those who register).
Agenda:
Arrive at 11:30am: Grabbing lunch and settling in
12-5pm: Collaging workshops (you have the option of making a zine for the second workshop)
Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided including GF, DF, and vegan options.
A $30 honorarium will be provided to participants following the event. The event is wheelchair accessible.
Please note that while you’re welcome to register for both events, space is limited and registration may be capped. Depending on demand, you may be confirmed for only one event. You'll receive a follow up email if any adjustments are needed.
