We look forward to hosting you!
Why are you Rainbow Registered?
It was important to us that we become Rainbow Registered because our business is based on values of community care, respect and equity. We want to help make outdoor experiences in this part of Northern Ontario feel as safe, welcoming and inviting to as many people as possible – including members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community, who are also our friends and family. We are also proud to attend, support, sponsor and donate to local queer-led events and fundraisers as part of our allyship work.
