The Community BBQ & Hangout will still take place as the air quality forecast for tomorrow continues to change. However, out of caution for our artists, team, and attendees we will be moving parts of the event indoors! Here’s what you need to know:

- The BBQ will still take place at The Theatre Centre (1115 Queen Street West) tomorrow, Friday July 17 from 5-8pm.

- Some programming, like the live music and children’s activities will move indoors into our building.

- The grill will stay outdoors! There will be space to eat, drink, and hangout both inside and outside of the building.

We will continue to adapt our plans as more information comes in. Our insta will be the fastest place to check for updates throughout tomorrow.
