Our monthly guide to cheap and queerful events in the city that are FREE, PWYC or less than $10.
Trade war season is here and we know you’re carefully tracking every dollar you spend. You probably want to spend LESS (because who knows what's coming down the line?!) and for your money to go someplace CANADIAN, and we would encourage you to go beyond that and make sure your entertainment dollars are also going someplace QUEER.
To help you spend wisely and queerly we’ve put together our monthly guide to affordable things for you to do in Toronto. Elbows up! And wrists…floppy. Like some kind of socially conscious queer beast with strange flailing appendages.
Don’t forget to check back regularly, because we will be adding morel affordable happenings over the course of the month! And please get in touch if we are missing your affordable event, at events@yohomo.ca.
