Workshops
Your guide to a good night out
In collaboration with the Good Night Out Vancouver (GNOV), The Kingston Music Office is hosting a webinar on November 22 at 1 PM EST, designed specifically for youth, secondary schools, and anyone interested in advocating for safer gigs. This interactive session, led by Stacey Forrester, co-founder and Education Director of GNOV, will provide participants with practical strategies and tools to reduce risks at concerts, parties, and events. Stacey’s approach emphasizes safety through a lens of love and care, focusing on community well-being rather than fear-based tactics.
Good Night Out Vancouver (GNOV) is a BC- Based non-profit society that works directly with the hospitality and music sectors to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and create safer experiences for those working in those industries as well as patrons. Good Night Out’s roots are on the occupied and unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, or Tsleil-Waututh peoples. GNO’s work in the area of safer music spaces, has lead to partnerships with venues of all sizes, the cities of Victoria and Vancouver, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, artists, and many other stakeholders in the hospitality and entertainment sector.
