The List - Ottawa's Queerest Calendar
Find queer events, sports and recreation activities, and social happenings across the region all under one tab.
MAX will occasionally scour social media and event forums to post but our hope is that you, the community, will add things we might have missed.
Check out our guide here for everything you need to know about submitting an event. If you have any questions or need to update a posted event, please email us at thelist@maxottawa.ca. To submit an event, scroll to the bottom of the page, or click here.
Every Thursday, we send a roundup of all things queer coming up over the next week. Subscribe through the form below to stay in the loop!

A NOTE ON LANGUAGE: We recognize that language is ever-changing and imperfect. The language MAX uses is flexible and tailored to our audience which includes people with specific lived experiences and needs. We use a variety of terms and acronyms as convenient, though imperfect shorthand, including the word queer as an umbrella term for all who identify as members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Language and values change from person to person, and so you may find a range of terms being used in the community events.
