The Canadian government investigated thousands of 2SLGBTQI+ employees, military personnel, and members of the RCMP during the Cold War. Many of these employees and personnel were forced to resign, ruining lives and careers. But they fought back, and survivors won a major class action lawsuit against the government in 2018.
Le gouvernement canadien a enquêté sur des milliers d’employés, de militaires et de membres de la GRC du 2SLGBTQI+ pendant la guerre froide. Beaucoup de ces employés et du personnel ont été forcés de démissionner, ruinant des vies et des carrières. Les survivants ont gagné un important procès collectif contre le gouvernement en 2018 en raison de leur riposte.

Apollo Outdoor Pursuits Pride Hike And Mountain Potluck Picnic
2024-09-02 08:00 - 15:30 | Kananaskis Country
This is a relatively “EASY” short uphill hike to a mountain meadow where we will have a good ole fashioned PRIDE POTLUCK PICNIC lunch in one of the most scenic locations in Kananaskis country! Please bring one item in your backpack to share with the group, it can be anything (ex fruit, chocolate, meat and cheese, candy, jerky, snacks, homemade baking, veggies, beverages, salad, etc). Make sure that everything you bring for the picnic (plate, napkin, blanket or towel or jacket or similar to sit on, food, drink, etc) can fit into your backpack (do not plan on carrying additional handbags, etc). Although it’s a short hike it’s still a good 45-60 min walk in and it is uphill.

Anytime of year just driving to the trailhead is marvellously scenic. Because it begins so high this trail rockets you into the alpine much faster than most. After a very brief ascent through the forest, the trail enters a cirque and contours meadow slopes below the soaring peaks. The meadow is a wildflower haven that contrasts sharply with the surrounding austere scree and talus. If we are lucky we may see marmots, pikas, and the elusive white-tailed ptarmigan, after which this trail is named.

RSVP REQUIRED! EMAIL ApolloOutdoorPursuits@gmail.com

Becoming an Ally: Being an Engaged Bystander
2024-09-04 15:00 - 16:30 | AB
Through interactive activities and discussions, this workshop explores the roots of harassment experienced by those with intersectional identities, particularly the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and provides strategies to address discrimination, prevent harassment, and highlight the role of bystanders. This is achieved through an overview of power and privilege, interactive opportunities to reflect on attitudes and beliefs around gender and sexual diversity, and practical tools for being an engaged bystander. Participants will leave this training prepared to address harassment and discrimination in a way that empowers the person experiencing harm, while calling people who perpetual harm into productive discussions.

PRIDE at Shelf Life Books
2024-09-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Shelf Life Books, 1302 – 4th Street SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Celebrate Pride 2024 at Shelf Life Books with a fun-filled extravaganza of local talent including drag performances by Dogiichow & Osmo Cis, literary readings by Skylar Kay and Bret Crowle, hosted by Kevin Allen.
ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
Osmo Cis is an androgynous, time travelling drag king who landed in the scene in 2022. He is as offbeat as he is handsome, using humor in his performances to entertain audiences while making them wonder, “what does cis mean again?” You can find Osmo at his new drag-improv show ‘Whose Drag is it Anyway?’ on October 18 at Congress Coffee, every other month at the Ship and Anchor, or co-hosting the ‘HoliGAY Weekends’ show every long weekend Saturday at The Attic. He’s even on Instagram! @cosmonautbinary
Dogiichow is the Campy and equally Trampy sensation, they have been gracing stages and entertaining audiences across Alberta and beyond. Best known for their custom if slightly questionable fashion sense. When they are not being a drag jester for crowds of barking fans they can be found accepting challenges of hot dog eating contests, watching cheesy cult classic b-movies and judging arm wrestling contests. Their drag is a celebration of their two spirit indigiqueer identity and a love of entertaining. Where will their journey take them next? Space! Probably not but you’ll just have to stay tuned.
Skylar Kay is an emerging writer from Calgary, AB. She has an interest in Japanese literature, specifically haiku, and has been pursuing this interest in her poetry since 2016. In addition to being a haiku enthusiast in creative writing, Skylar also participates in the academic side of Japanese literature, seeing publication in both academic and literary journals.
Bret Crowle is a multi-genre creator who has spent the last year singing, dancing, playing pretend, and editing her forthcoming debut poetry collection for Frontenac House. The collection, Jesus is a Voyeur, will be making its way to you this October. When not creating, she can be found looking for faces in the clouds, listening to the same albums over and over again, and participating in the deeply healing art of noisemaking.
Kevin Allen is a fourth-generation Calgarian who has been documenting and profiling queer people and events for 30+ years. Kevin started the Calgary Gay History Project in 2012 to uncover and preserve stories from Calgary’s 2SLGBTQ+ past (www.calgarygayhistory.ca). The Project has achieved national recognition and led to the award-winning documentary film: Gross Indecency: The Everett Klippert Story; and the best-selling book Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary. Additionally, Kevin works as a senior election administrator for both Elections Canada and Elections Alberta.

C. L. Polk (they/them) wrote the Hugo-nominated Kingston Cycle, including the World Fantasy Award winning Witchmark, The Midnight Bargain, and the Nebula-winning Even Though I Knew The End. Before writing fantasy novels, they worked as a film extra, a costermonger, and also identified lepidoptera by eye. Mx. Polk lives in Calgary, on the territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, and the Métis Nation (Region 3). Mx.

Always a highlight of the festival: eight writers tell a story about a piece of clothing that became more than just a garment. A lucky left sock? A silk kimono dug up from the bottom of a vintage trunk? The horrible dress your father made you wear to school? The beauty of The Way We… is that we can’t possibly predict what you’ll hear, but we *can* predict you’ll be telling your friends, “You had to be there!”

Calgary’s hottest drag show is Holi-GAY Weekends!
Every long weekend, drag kings Noble Oney and Osmo Cis are back with an all-new, all-queer show that answers the question, “WHAT?!”
Don’t be thrown off when you’re greeted at the door by a drag king that looks like Hulk Hogan. You’re in the right place. And anyone can get in – there’s no password. All we ask is that you leave your heteronormativity at the door – this one’s for the girls, the goths, and the gays.
This Show Has Everything
Drag kings
Burlesque
Hand-pulled vegan pasta
Flutists
Cops on roller blades
Anti-capitalist sentiment
Gender neutral bathrooms
Buff Easter bunny
Cowboy Santa
Roulette duets
… and other gay stuff you’ll find yourself obsessively thinking about weeks later.
And you’ll have your very own When Harry Met Sally moment with our IRL Tinder profiles speed dating game.
A Note on Pricing
Tickets are $15 in advance, or $20 at the door. However, this is merely a suggestion! Because the kingdom of capitalism is alive and well and crushing, we always offer a Community Pay What You Can (PWYC) option.
To do that, just reserve your spot for free under PWYC and put whatever amount feels fair and do-able for you in the bucket at the door.
About the Venue
Located at The Attic Bar and Stage on the second floor above Vegan Street, in the heart of historic Inglewood (formerly Lolita’s Lounge – home to Carly’s Angels, Calgary’s longest-running drag show).
Plant-based comfort food downstairs, stone-fired pizza and hand-pulled pasta upstairs – plus curated cocktails and local beer. The Attic is the only fully plant-based pizza bar in town that will genuinely fool any carnivore – and don’t forget their MANY non-alcoholic and gluten-free options.
Unfortunately, The Attic is accessible only by stairs. Free street parking is available after 6pm.
Gender neutral bathrooms available on both floors.
Land Acknowledgement
In the spirit of our commitment to reconciliation, it’s critical that we start by echoing the names of the nations whose homes we inhabit. We reside on the home of the unceded territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which is comprised of the the Piikani, the Siksika, and the Kainai, as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda, Tsuut’ina nations, and the Otipemisiwak Métis government. We honour Mohkínstsis and all nations who are the first caretakers of this revered land.
We have an obligation to continuously reflect on and take action to repair the damage and harm enacted upon Indigenous communities. Our cast will address and take action on at least one item from (and amplify the work being done on) the 94 the calls to action each time we host an event. It is our hope to bring awareness to our audience and inspire you to take action as well.

Chai & Discussion

Whether you’re coming for the chai, the connection, or both—there’s room for everyone at our table! This event is open to all queers, no need to be South Asian, just a lover of good chai and dialogue.
Proudly in collaboration with PCHS and Calgary Outlink.

Cocksure
2024-11-20 19:30 - 21:30 | The Pumphouse Theatre, 2140 Pumphouse Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, T3C 3P5, Canada
The Knight has been summoned to the king’s court, eager to receive accolades and probably an award for his many fantastic achievements. Throughout his time in the court, his bravado begins to slip, and a devastating and emasculating secret is exposed.

This show is part of the Common Ground Festival.
