✹ BUDDY SYSTEM ✹
The Buddy System is a grassroots effort to combat rape culture, provide harm reduction, and enhance the safety of dance parties and events. Buddies will be wearing neon shirts and are NARCAN trained. They are carrying sealed water bottles, condoms, lube, granola bars, tampons, and more. They will run interference if someone is receiving unwanted attention, can help folks in need to find a way home, and generally serve as go-to support people should any problems arise.

✹ DRESS TO EXPRESS ✹
Public Disco events aim to be a safe space for people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, abilities and sexual orientations to come together and enjoy music side by side. We encourage you to come dressed to express your own unique identify, and ask that you respect other people's right to do the same without judgement.
✹ THE LOCATION ✹
Bentall Centre’s Neighbourhood Patio pop-up offers live music, art, food, and drinks on select afternoons and evenings through the summer. We are excited to be activating this lush pop-up space surrounded by skyscrapers in Downtown Vancouver.
We acknowledge that this event takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples – the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations. We ask that you take a moment to consider the history of the land that we gather on, your relations with local Indigenous people and what each of us can do to foster meaningful reconciliation now and into the future.
✹ WHAT'S PUBLIC DISCO ✹
Public Disco connects people through music in under-utilized urban spaces from plazas and streets to industrial warehouse spaces.
