SUMMARY:Queerspora
DESCRIPTION:Moving to a new country can bring many surprises\, and sexuality is often one of the biggest areas where cultural differences show up. For queer newcomers\, navigating these differences can feel confusing\, eye-opening\, overwhelming\, or empowering. Ideas about dating\, intimacy\, consent\, public displays of affection\, sexual health\, and queer identity may be very different from what we grew up with. \n\n\n\nJoin MAX and other queer newcomers for an open conversation about sexual cultural shock: the moments when the norms\, attitudes\, and expectations around sex and relationships in Canada feel unfamiliar or surprising. Together\, we’ll explore how these cultural shifts affect our sense of identity\, comfort\, safety\, and pleasure. \n\n\n\nMake sure to RSVP through the form below! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNotes about access\n\n\n\n\nThe room is on ground level\, so no elevators needed. And accessible washroom are marked with appropriate signage (all on the same level).\n\n\n\nWe’ll have signs posted to help redirect you if you get lost!\n\n\n\nCentretown Community Health Centre is right around the corner from bus stops for the 6\, 7\, and 11. We’re about a 5-minute walk from the nearest stop for the 14\, and a 10-minute walk from Parliament Station (Line 1 of the O-train). There are also several paid parking lots and garages within walking distance. If transit is a barrier for you to attend a session\, let us know and we’ll help you out!\n\n\n\nSigned up for a session but can no longer make it? No problem — just shoot us an email at queerspora@maxottawa.ca as soon as you can.

SUMMARY:WILD: After Dark
DESCRIPTION:Come get WILD\, join us for an exciting collaboration between Probe Ottawa and Capital Pups on March 14th for a pet play themed party. \n\n\n\nStep into your creature self as we invite you to a special Saturday-night edition of our pet play party where all critters are welcome to romp\, rest\, and revel in their own way. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7:00 PM for check-in. Settle in early\, sniff around\, and explore the space at your own pace. Whether you’re a playful pup\, a curious kitten\, a prancing pony\, a majestic mythical beast\, or a proud handler\, this is your time to meet the menagerie. \n\n\n\nOur social hour from 7:00–8:00 PM is your chance to get comfy\, make connections\, and ease into the evening. Mingle\, stretch\, chirp\, growl\, or simply observe. All species and styles of pet play are encouraged here. \n\n\n\nAt 8:00 PM\, the play space comes alive. Explore the night letting your whiskers and instincts guide you. It’s time to let loose\, get a little wild\, and roll around in all your pet-tastic glory. Come explore\, play\, and paws-itively enjoy yourself in a space made for creatures like you. \n\n\n\nTo help everyone navigate the night\, we will be providing colour-coded wristbands to easily and clearly communicate whether or not you are open to different interactions with other party-goers. Green\, yellow\, and red colours will be available. \n\n\n\nLet the tail wags\, soft mews\, proud trots\, and happy howls begin. \n\n\n\nPlease note\, our entry door will be locked after 11PM for the safety of our members and staff. \n\n\n\nAt Probe\, inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome all individuals of all sexual orientations\, genders\, and identities. Our aim is to create an environment where everyone feels respected\, valued\, and free to express themselves authentically. Our venue is wheelchair accessible\, with an elevator available. Our goal is to provide an accessible\, inclusive space. If you have any questions or have specific accommodation requests\, please reach out to us. \n\n\n\nA membership is required to attend our play parties. If you haven’t secured your membership yet\, be sure to do so before the event!

We offer limited “supported” and “sustain” tickets at a lower price for community members who might otherwise be unable to attend. Please choose the ticket price that makes this event accessible to you. If you’d like to support event accessibility\, consider purchasing a “generous” or “benevolent” ticket\, which helps subsidize lower-price options. All ticket types provide the same access to the event. \n\n\n\nA variety of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be available all night to keep you refreshed and energized. Please note that bringing alcohol is not allowed. \n\n\n\nOur dedicated Dungeon Monitors (DMs) will be present throughout the venue\, attentively supervising the play areas and offering assistance to ensure everyone’s safety.

SUMMARY:We Are Pat: International Film Festival of Ottawa Premiere
DESCRIPTION:International Film Festival of Ottawa: \n\n\n\nThis special Ottawa premiere of We Are Pat is presented in collaboration with Carleton University Professor of Film Studies Laura Horak and the Trans Media Lab. In addition to the screening\, Horak will discussing and launching her new book on trans cinema\, Trans Cinema: Making Communities\, Identities\, and Worlds \n\n\n\n“Pat\, the evasive\, androgynous SNL character played by Julia Sweeney\, was a ubiquitous presence in the pop culture ether of the 1990s. As a kid\, filmmaker Ro Haber grappled with a strange obsession with Pat — a character whose popularity hinged on them making others wildly uncomfortable with their refusal to adhere to strict gender lines. Both time and their identity moved forward and yet\, even as an adult\, Haber’s preoccupation remained. Now\, 35 years after the first “It’s Pat” sketch debuted on SNL\, Tribeca alum filmmaker Haber and a who’s who of queer and trans comedians and writers (including Sweeney herself) come together to confront the existence of Pat. Through discussions and debate via the lens of 2025 and trans visibility\, the group goes on a mission to reframe the character — an unexpected opportunity to not erase Pat but reclaim them in a manner that eliminates ridicule and instills empowerment.” Liza Domnitz\, Tribeca Film Festival
