Kind Space

Kind Space is announcing a change for our Fabulous 40's program!

Now reintroducing as our "40+ Group" for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Ottawa! This is a dedicated space for people primarily over 40 to socialize often over a slice! Kind Space will be open for you to play games, chat, do crafts alongside other people in the community.

Join us, May 6th from 6pm-9pm at Kind Space, and the first wednesday of every month! We hope you can join us!

Registration in the bio!

Hi friends,

We have a big announcement. Starting the week of May 11th, we will be pausing The Drop-In for a period of time. This was not an easy decision. We know how important it is for community members to have open access to a warm and welcoming space outside of registered programming and the impact that will have during the pause.

We've done our best to be as detailed as possible about why we came to this decision, what the pause will look like, what will replace it in the interim, and steps to reintroduce a more open format.

You can read the full announcement at our link in our bio. If you have questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Statement on the Defunding of Supervised Consumption Sites.

Excerpt:
"Supervised Consumption Sites (SCS) are evidence-based, effective healthcare. They are healthcare sites that offer people dignity, connection, and rest. These sites prevent overdose deaths, reduce transmission of infectious diseases, and provide wound care and basic hygiene supplies. Most importantly, these sites are places where people can be reminded of their humanity, that they are not disposable, that they matter."
