Our Story

London Ontario has a diverse and vibrant Queer community. However, as a community we have long been disconnected from each other in different spaces in our city. In 2016, the Queer Events team came together and decided we were going to do everything we can to help ensure these spaces can be bridged, that our community can have access to the spaces, tools and information they needed to connect with each other in a different way.

Our goal is to see a more connected, stronger, welcoming and accessible LGBT2Q+ community.

Our first phase was creating a tool that empowers our community with information we need to connect, whether you are looking to expand your social group, gain new experiences, are new to the city or to (an expert at) being out and proud. QueerEvents.ca was born. A dynamic website with comprehensive information on what is happening in our community and resources we may need to access including information to assist in breaking down barriers and helping individuals to make more informed decisions.

Our second phase is all about you. Connecting with and identifying the gaps in our community and the ways in which we can help bring our community together. This has led to several initiatives and we are currently developing more. If you would like to provide your input or collaborate with us please connect with us at info@queerevents.ca

Please Note: Queer Events is not affiliated with any other group or organization. We are independent!

Queer Events (QE) is committed to working towards a strong, welcoming and accessible LGBT2Q+ community. QE creates events that bridge existing gaps and opportunities to connect; through our online portal, queerevents.ca, we empower our community with information; and through education and advocacy we promote inclusion, diversity and a more welcoming queer community for all.

Queer Events. The future is Queer.

Our Current Programs and Initiatives

House of Anansi

House of Anansi acts to create and promote events and spaces by the Queer Indigenous and Queer People of Colour community.

Queer Events believes that Queer Indigenous People and Queer People of Colour have a right to a safe environment to use our own voices to explore, express, and celebrate together. To define community within ourselves, and not through others. This group brings together individuals from both the Queer Indigenous and Queer People of Colour communities to connect and work together towards creating more inclusive and welcoming spaces in our city.
