Enjoy an evening at UBC Botanical Garden celebrating the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, meeting like-minded people curious about nature as a warmup for the Vancouver Pride Festival! Participants will learn from Garden staff about the collection, and explore the Garden from new heights on the Greenheart TreeWalk. Light snacks and drinks will be provided, and alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase (while supplies last).
For this event, we will be collaborating with UBC CampOUT! UBC CampOUT! is a summer camp for queer, trans, and Two-Spirit youth ages 14-21 from across British Columbia. Their focus is to increase the health and wellness of 2SLGBTQIA+ youth populations by providing a financially accessible annual program that directly responds to the needs of this community.
