Toronto Pride – Important Information

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Hey hey,

Just a few reminders about Toronto Pride, which is on July 4, 2010:

  1. Tickets are still on sale at the Feds Office if you want to take the bus to & from Toronto; Roundtrip is $5 for UW students; $10 for Non-UW.
    - We will be departing from Davis Centre at 9:30 am and arriving at Jarvis and Carlton St at 11 am
    - In the evening, we will be  departing from Jarvis & Carlton St. at 9:30 pm and arriving back at Davis Centre at 11 pm.
  2. If you plan on marching in the parade with GLOW, we have to be at the check-in point at 12:45 pm, which is Bloor St. and Ted Rogers Way. We will be leaving from Jarvis & Carlton to the check-in point at 12:15 pm (so meet us at Jarvis and Carlton before 12:15 pm!)
  3. Since the theme is “Back to the Future,” wear something futuristic and crazy (Lady Gaga-esque, Ke$ha, Christina Aguilera, Kelis style) or come wearing “University of Waterloo” t-shirts and support the school!
    - GLOW thought it might be a good idea to wear trash bags as dresses/t-shirts with some bold, colorful accessories (Ke$ha style). If you would like to be a part of this, email me at: p.jalundhwala {at} hotmail(.)com.

Hope to see all of you in T.O on July 4 :),

GLOW does Toronto Pride! – Sunday, July 4th!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

GLOW has arranged for a bus to go to Toronto for The 30th Annual Toronto Pride Parade. The bus will be leaving early in the day and returning late in the evening, so individuals will have plenty of time to explore the different festivities going on, as well as the parade which happens starting at 2pm.

GLOW will also be marching in the parade itself, and everyone is encouraged to join us! Our theme this year is “Back to the Future” (this means deck yourselves out in the wackiest, most futuristic gear you can think of!).

Bonfire Cancelled

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Hey everyone,

We hate to do this, but due to the weather, we are cancelling GLOW’s bonfire tonight, and moving it to another date (TBA).

We apologize to everyone for the inconvienece, but due to the rain we are forced to make this decision.

We will be posting information on this facebook event once we have decided on a new date.

But, the Tri-Pride Kickoff Party at Club Renaissance is still happening, tonight at 9 pm!

Hope to see all of you there!

Hey everyone!

Well we are all set and excited for the bonfire tonight! Unfortunately it looks like we’re expecting some rain later in the night. We’ll be making a decision closer to the starting time for whether we’ll have to cancel the event or not, so make sure to check your inbox before you head out! If we do cancel the event a message will be sent out at 7:30pm. Hopefully that won’t be the case though!

Cheers,
