This week we’re letting you know how to book a space.

You can choose to sell out of your car, at a table, or perhaps you’ll have a tent.

To book your space, please contact info@forbeshall.ca with your name, texting phone number or email, how you’ll be selling (car, table, tent) and where you would prefer to set up, we’ll try our best to accommodate.

· All spaces must be pre-booked up to Friday, April 24th, at noon. All tents and tables to be in position by 5pm Friday, April 24th. Talk to us early if you have a special circumstance that makes these times difficult.

· If a table is needed, TICA has a limited number of tables, 6’ and 8’ lengths, available for reservation on a first come first served basis (when you book your space), these will be picked up from and returned to their storage area by the vendors.

· Payment for your space will be by cash donation in a provided box.

· Vendors will be required to remove all unsold items from the Forbes Hall Community Centre property same day.

Cool Girls Nature Club

Hello brave women,

Since we’ve had hundreds of new cold-water “guests” visiting our usual swim spots lately (very large, very vocal ones 😄), we’re changing things up a little.

We’ll meet at the boat launch Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. and walk to a quieter beach nearby. 

Fun fact: Like sea lions, we’re not meant to do this alone, dipping together helps our nervous systems calm and connect.

This is a women’s low-pressure gathering, a relaxed, supportive space to just be as you are. Come sit on the beach, sip your tea, and simple be, or dip, swim, paddle, wetsuit, bathing suit, or birthday suit, all welcome.

Come exactly as you are.

A little ocean time, a little connection, a little courage, that’s all this is.

And honestly… why not jump in? 

Warmly,

Elite
