When attending Bloom we ask that you conduct yourself in alignment with our Community Code of Conduct: . 🐛 1. Protective Spaces - Building a safer environment at Bloom Everyone who attends Bloom is expected to uphold an environment of consent and respect for one another. We strive to make Bloom a safer and inclusive space for all guests and expect all crew, performers and patrons to adhere to this standard. Any hate speech, aggressive, or non-consensual behavior will not be tolerated. Anyone who acts disrespectfully will be asked to leave. Take care of each other. If you experience or see someone that needs help or a situation that looks questionable or uncomfortable please bring it to our attention: reach out to the event security staff, Bloom crew, or any of the event organizers. Bloom encourages everyone to take responsibility for the environment we are co-creating. Be aware of and respect each other's personal space. If someone says no or asks you to leave them alone, listen to them and accept their “no” with grace.  Remember: Respect yourself, each other, and the land. . 🐛 2. Sustainability and Leave No Trace Respect bloomland and leave it as beautiful as you found it. We are visitors on this land and ask that all attendees are mindful of the waste they may be bringing into bloom and to be responsible for their impact. Leave wasteful packaging at home.  - Pack in what you pack out.  - Double check your campsite for any waste before you leave.  - Do not leave used toilet paper in the forest - we will need to pick it all up! Instead carry a ziplock bag with you for your garbage and place it in the appropriate receptacle. - If you are a smoker, make sure you have a receptacle for your butts on you at all times. - Help our Eco Warriors out! If you see any MOOP (Matter Out Of Place), Please pick it up and place it in the appropriate receptacle. . 🐛 3.

We have the privilege to gather and celebrate on these lands and we ask that you consider ways in which you can support your local community in being more equitable.  We encourage our community to reflect on actionable items that we can all do to create an equitable world. What can you offer?   . 🐛 4. Play Bloom encourages you to engage your inner child to play and have FUN - After all what is a festival but a playground for your senses!  Interact with art that invites you to do so, dance like no one's watching, Express your inner self through your outfit and style!

We will be gathering on the traditional lands of Anishinabewaki, Wendake-Nionwentsio, Mississagua and the Haudenosaunee people; governed under Treaty 20, 1818, land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the very beginning. Today, this area is still the home to many Indigenous peoples, and we acknowledge all the generations of people who have stewarded this land and recognize the great privilege of being able to gather here. We share this Land Acknowledgement in part to humbly express our acknowledgement, privilege and gratitude to the First Nations; and to call ourselves into activation for justice for Aboriginal people on Turtle Island. For those who are settlers, what can we all do? Activate for justice. Initiate conversations amongst ourselves and others about Indigenous issues. Call out the continued genocide of Indigenous people on Turtle Island, take action in our communities. Hold governments accountable to their promises regarding the struggles that communities face at the hands of settler colonialism. Read the Truth and Reconciliation Final Report -- consider how we can support the calls to action. Locate and support local Friendship Centres, and Indigenous Organizations and grassroot projects. Speak up; bring this conversation and activation to other community events you/we're a part of; volunteer/show up; participate in the redistribution of resources and reparations by way of donations. Even a small amount of any of the above is something. . As organizers of this gathering, we are committed to: 1) Having copies of TRC reports to be loaned/read at the gathering. 2) Initiate conversations and collective activation 3) Having conversations on the land with one another 4) Treading lightly on this land with humility - respecting the animals, plants, and all of our surroundings by leaving no trace. . 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 . 💚 This experience is what we all make it, so if you plan on coming we encourage you to share and contribute to our collective experience. We are all responsible for creating a safe and fun weekend together. We are so excited for you to join us for Bloom and can’t wait to see you!
