LET’S did the low sensory booth for Vancouver Pride Society at East Side Pride. It was such a hit that LET’S was asked to do it both days of the Vancouver Pride Festival, at Burnaby Pride, the Vancouver Dyke March, and at Victoria Pride. We were very proud of how well received my low sensory tent has been.
In an 8 hour day, we only had 15 minutes where it was empty. We had 6 people colouring at 1 point and a child who happily lay on the blanket and played with stuffies and balls for 90 minutes while their mum enjoyed the event (popping back every 15 minutes to check on them). LET’S had volunteers, all neurodivergent, in the tent.
Our Executive director was particularly happy to offer a low sensory tent because it was what they needed when I was younger. Heather said “It’s nice to be able to offer others what I didn’t have available to me.”
The low sensory tent was placed next to LET’S informational booth. It was a great day and we were able to share our work with quite a few people.
