VQC x MEC Meetup

Starting: March 23rd, 2023

Date: 3rd Thursday Each Month

Cost: FREE

VQC and MEC have partnered to create a monthly meetup that is free and open to anyone, whether you’re new to climbing or looking to expand your community. The intention of this meetup is to create a space where folks who want to try climbing can do so without paying a drop-in fee or needing to buy punch passes. This meetup is a combination social and climbing meetup, so even if you're not going to climb you're welcome to join.

Attendees are welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks – these all must be kept OFF the climbing mats. Come meet some other amazing 2SLGBTQ+ folks and climb or just hangout and chat with folks from the VQC community!

Event registration is required but is entirely free.

Note: Attendees under the age of 16 must have a legal guardian present

MEC's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion is fundamental to MEC’s culture. We’re committed to helping to increase equity in the outdoors and ensure staffers and members feel represented and free to be themselves.

As part of their DEI initiatives, MEC is donating their space and their climbing wall to the VQC community each month to further support 2SLGBTQ+ people being able to access climbing in more affordable ways.
