Why This Night Matters

Growing up, we learn how to connect, how to date, how to love and be loved. We test, we make mistakes, we grow.

For many queer people, those spaces don’t exist in the same way.

That’s why spaces like the Rideau Speedeaus matter.

Our club creates a rare kind of environment: one that is safe, non-judgmental, and non-sexualized. A space where people can simply be; connect, build confidence, and feel at home in their own bodies.

This night is more than a social event.

It’s a way to keep that space alive.

What to Expect

Join us for a warm, vibrant evening bringing together our community and friends:

  • Cheese and glass of wine (included with your ticket)
  • Special themed cocktails (all profits go to the fundraiser)
  • Music and relaxed social vibes
  • Conversation starters to help you connect
  • A welcoming, inclusive atmosphere

Whether you come with friends or on your own, this is a space to meet, laugh, and belong.

Silent Auction

Our silent auction will run throughout the evening, featuring a curated mix of items from our community and local partners.

Expect:

  • Art and pieces
  • Local experiences (restaurants, fitness, classes)
  • Services and wellness offerings
  • Fun community-driven items
  • Cooking and cocktail items

How it works:

  • Browse items in person
  • Bid easily from your phone via QR code
  • Auction closes at 9:30 PM

All proceeds support the club and help us continue creating accessible queer spaces.

One community. One night. One chance to support it.
