Land Acknowledgement: This adventure takes place on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations Nation. Fat & Friendly Adventures acknowledges that our hikers may be guests, settlers & immigrants to this land. We recognize that outdoor recreation is rooted in colonialism and commit ourselves to undoing these dynamics while we’re on adventures.

Review the information below to ensure you‘re familiar with our community guidelines:

• Fat & Friendly Adventures is a safer space for fat folks and people who live in marginalized bodies. Our events are a weight-loss talk, diet talk and body shaming free zone … especially towards yourself!
• Kids of all ages are welcome (unless noted, typically if there are unsafe conditions that wouldn’t be good for kids.)
• Dogs are allowed on a leash (unless noted when the area where the hike is located doesn’t allow them.)
• We are inclusive of all genders, all sizes & abilities.
• We go at the pace of the slowest adventurer with NO shame! We lead adventures from the back, so the slowest folks receive the most support from community leaders.
• We are inclusive to queer folks, transgender folks, gender non-conforming folks, feminists, fat folks, people of colour & all marginalized people.
• Be mindful of gender pronouns! Don’t assume someone’s pronoun by their appearance. Every adventure starts with intros with names & pronouns!

This adventure is hosted by Fat & Friendly Adventures and will be led by Lindsay Johnson (they/them).

Ticket Info: Fat & Friendly Adventures events have limited spots available for the safety and enjoyment of those involved, to be respectful to the areas we are adventuring and other folks on their own adventures, and to create a community where all participants, including our community leaders, will have an opportunity to connect with one another.

We endeavour to keep our events accessible and therefore don't charge for any events that have free admission.

If we are charging for an event it is to cover the cost of entrance to the venue itself. No additional fees are collected
