☀️ Coast & Colour is back ☀️ The QTBIPOC Beach Day returns to Hanlan’s Point for another summer of community and joy. Organized by QTBIPOC community groups and collectives across Toronto, Coast & Colour is a space to gather, unwind, celebrate, and spend the day together by the water. Sapphic Shore will also be returning this year, creating space for sapphics to meet, connect, and build community by the beach 💖 We’ll be offering free ferry rides, community-led activities, music throughout the day, and space to just exist and enjoy the beach together. The focus is on creating a welcoming and respectful environment for everyone sharing the space. Whether you’re coming to meet new people, reconnect with community, dance a little, or just spend the day in the sun, this day is for you. 📍 Hanlan’s Point Beach 📅 Saturday, July 4th, 2026 ⏰ 11 am to sunset Follow @bipocsapphicshanlans for updates, ferry info, partner announcements, and more.

This was such a beautiful and powerful space to relax into movement together as a community. On February 21st, we honoured Black History Month through movement, stillness, and community at @downwarddogyoga 🖤 We flowed through vinyasa, softened into restoration, and grounded ourselves in meditation and sound healing. Thank you to everyone (not all pictured here) who came out to participate in our Black Community Yoga & Sound Healing event. It was such a pleasure to be able to gather, share tea and snacks, and foster meaningful connection with everyone.  A special shout out all who showed up for themselves and community for such a beautiful and transformative session.  Stay tuned for more sessions like this coming up!
