victoria poetry project respectfully recognizes that our series events take place on the traditional and unceded territory of the Lekwungen people, now known as the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations. we recognize the colonial violence that led to the creation of Victoria, and how that and colonial funding allows our organization to exist. we aim to always be cognizant of who is represented on our stages, and to do what we can to reach out to groups who aren’t. 

 

CAFFÈ FANTASTICO (quadra village roastery) is a beautiful all-ages cafe that serves hot beverages, beer, wine, cider and snacks (hummus! chicken skewers! fried chickpeas! tacos!). there are two non-gendered, single-stall washrooms. there are three stairs between the service area and the main seating area, but the main seating area can also be accessed from street level on Quadra St. if you are able, please enter via the door on Kings St.

please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this event and/or our venue. we aim to be inclusive and welcoming.
