Crowsnest Pride Society Movie Night
Jul

Crowsnest Pride Society Movie Night

Crowsnest Pride Society, together with the Crowsnest Community Library, is hosting a free Movie Night next Saturday, July 4 !

See attached poster.


We'll be screening Stonewall Uprising, a powerful documentary about the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City that became a turning point for the queer rights movement in North America. As a result of this pivotal moment in time, Pride marches and indeed Pride month as a whole, came into being. It's a moving, important piece of our shared history, and a great reminder of how far we've come and why community matters. 


Saturday, July 4

7:00 to 9:00 PM

Crowsnest Community Library, 2114 127 Street, Blairmore


Please note: the film is unrated and recommended for viewers 14+.


I hope you'll come out and join us! Evenings like this are exactly what our community is about: coming together, learning, and supporting one another. Bring a friend, bring a family member, and let's fill the room.  Popcorn and snacks provided!

Meet Market: Queer and Kinky Speed Dating

Meet Market is a speed dating event for the Queer, kinky, and non- monogamous communities! This event is specifically for the folks who date “unconventionally” or otherwise have difficulty finding their match. Meet Market is open to anyone who defines themselves as available; whether you're a non-binary cutie looking for a date, a rope top looking for a bottom, a queer femme looking for a life partner, or a couple looking for their soulmates, we are creating space for you!

Participants will write their own bio before the night, giving them an opportunity to express themself and their wants in their own language. Meet Market will begin with a cocktail hour where our daters can anonymously submit themselves as 'interested in' people from the array of bios. Matching will happen throughout the evening, and be facilitated by our hosts. While you wait for your speed dates, enjoy the mixer vibe, chat with other daters, and partake in the free nibbles or cash bar.

Join us for a fun evening of matchmaking and mingling with other “Availables”.
