The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is fully accessible and has gender neutral washrooms. Menstrual and Hygiene items will be available for free on-site. We will have a quiet room available and a designated sensory zone. Free parking on-site and in adjacent areas. While designated as a ‘church’, it is important to note the UCE is a progressive and inclusive space dedicated to learning, spiritual exploration and social justice. UCE proudly and loudly supports queer and Trans causes and rights. We have the full use of their entire facility for this event.
