Accessibility Info
Venue:
The front doors are automatic, and a ramp leads down into the gym space. The ramp is quite long, but the slope is gentle.
There is an additional entrance directly from the gym at ground level behind the building. The doors are not automatic and there is a lip, but they will be left open during the event if weather permits
There is one accessible washroom downstairs and two additional washrooms upstairs.
Masking:
Masking is required for all vendors and attendees except in the case of medical exemption
A limited supply of masks will be available in collaboration with masks4vic
Please help us keep our community safe and mask up!
Scents:
We ask that everyone is mindful of those among us who are scent sensitive. Please keep all scented product usage to a minimum.
Please note that the event as a whole is not scent-free, as some vendors have scented products for sale. These vendors will be grouped in an effort to help those with scent sensitivities avoid them.
Sound:
No music will be playing during the event
A PA system will be used for announcements during certain points at the start and end of the event
The event is indoors in a large open space, so we do expect sound levels to be elevated
