Fraser Valley Pride moved from Abbotsford to Mission this year, due to safety concerns. LET’S had both a booth for ourselves and a low sensory space. The Mission location allowed for a low sensory space well away from the stage and bustle of the main event. We set up in a treed area with lots of shade and grass. It helped to make the environment all the more relaxing.
As we were a late entry into Fraser Valley Pride, this was 1st Pride where we did not have our booth adjacent to the
low sensory space. We were in the midst of the event alongside other booths. For our
neurodivergent team members, it was too much. 1 even went to the low sensory space and had an hour nap. We are our own audience for the low sensory spaces. We will make sure to book well in advance next year to ensure our booth can be beside our low sensory space.
