All members of the King’s community are invited to join us for a 2SLGBTQIA+ resource fair and celebration!

Learn more about the resources, supports and connection opportunities available for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members through the mini resource fair:

  • King’s Community Supports Team – hosted by the Sexual Health & Safety Officer and the Indigenous Student Support & Outreach Coordinator
  • Student Health & Wellness Representatives
  • Venus Envy who will also be selling pride merch, books and other great resources. Learn more about what their store offers for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Halifax!

Attendees can also enjoy:

  • Queer music playing in the Quad
  • Stay tuned to @ukcresidence on Instagram – we will post a story asking you to share your favorite songs by queer artists so we can add them to the playlist!
  • Gayke
    • The team at Chartwells will prepare a pride progress flag sheet cake. Folks can enjoy a free slice of cake or a gluten-free cupcake (while supplies last).
    • Students who attended the 2023 Queering the Quad, aptly named this cake the “Gayke” (gay cake) and the name has stuck around.
  • An inflatable rainbow arch photobooth
  • A table with free pride stickers (good quality stickers great for laptops, water bottles etc.).
  • Lawn games like cornhole, badminton, frisbee and spikeball.

Inclement Weather Plan

  • The rain date for Queering the Quad is Tuesday, October 28, 2025 (same times and location).
  • Keep an eye on either the @ukcresidence or the @ukchalifax Instagram stories. That is where we will let folks know if we need to postpone the event to the rain date.
