SUMMARY:Family Storytime
DESCRIPTION:Join us for songs\, stories and fun with your little ones. This is a free family drop-in program for babies\, toddlers\, preschoolers\, and their caregivers. Ages 0-5. \nReading and singing are two of the most important activities for building early literacy and language skills\, and we will practice lots of both! Creating an early positive association with books by reading together (or in a fun environment like Storytime!) can help foster a lifelong love of reading.  Rhymes and singing help young developing brains break apart language and make sense of it. Storytime also provides socialization opportunities for both little ones as well as adult caregivers looking to make connections in the community. All around it’s a good time!

SUMMARY:IN THE CLOSET Docu-Series Screening and Clothing Swap for Pride Month
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free Pride month screening of In The Closet\, a brand-new docu-series about non-binary fashion and identity. In the Closet is written\, directed and hosted by Ajahnis Charley—a Black\, non-binary writer\, filmmaker and comedian based in Toronto—who raids their enby besties’ closets looking to affirm both their identity and their hotness. \nFree snacks and drinks! The docu-series runs 78 minutes. Stick around after to swap some clothes\, make friends\, and talk about the film and queer fashion. The docu-series will be subtitled. \nMore about the docu-series: \nFiguring out who you are is messy—especially when the world is telling you you’re “not non-binary enough.” \nAjahnis is joined in the series by iconic comedian Bren D’Souza\, actor Amanda Cordner\, improviser to the stars D.J. Mausner\, creator Meg MacKay and Drag Queen extraordinaire Chelazon Leroux. \nYes\, they’re in a literal closet\, but these non-binary artists are anything but closeted\, in a docu-series that isn’t afraid to wear its heart on its drop sleeves. \nCheck out a promo video for the series!
