Vancouver ENM Happy Hour @ The Painted Ship

Hey ENM cuties!

We’re continuing our monthly happy hour to connect with other folks who are (or want to be) practising ethical non-monogamy here in Vancouver. Feel free to bring stories, games, friends/lovers/partners/etc, or just your charming selves--usually on the 3rd Thursday of each month, but this month on the 4th!

Join us on April 24th at 7pm at THE PAINTED SHIP (2884 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC, V6K 2G6). There will be a reservation under the name of Bri (pronounced like brie cheese)!

Please note: if there's a really loud event happening we'll likely fall back to Darby's or another local place & this event will be updated!

We’ll have some convo prompts to kick off the evening, and the host will stay til ~10pm (but feel free to hang for as long as you want). All experience levels and forms of ENM are welcomed. See you there, and spread the word! <3

Host Info:

1. Bri (they/them) is a disabled queer and nonbinary settler originally from N'dakinna (New England) who has lived all over Turtle Island. They're a lecturer in Library Science at UBC and the archivist and historian of the Haslam Collection on Polyamory.

Accessibility Info:

1. Alt text for image: photo is unrelated to event; a racially diverse group of femme-presenting people are walking down what appears to be a city street; there is a brownstone rowhouse in the background. the group is talking animatedly and a couple of people are laughing.)
2. This is a location that serves alcohol; nonalcoholic options and food are also available.
3. There is good navigability and spacing between chairs and tables for walkers, canes, and wheelchairs.
4. This tends to be a quiet day for this bar, but there are occasionally larger groups or events happening at the same time as this event. The space can sometimes get noisy, but should be accessible for hearing loss in the severe-moderate range (one of the hosts uses a hearing aid and a CI).
5. Depending on the weather, the number of people and/or how loud it is downstairs we sometimes go to the rooftop patio, which is up a set of ~15 stairs. There is no elevator that we are aware of, but we try to take accessibility needs into account.
