LET’S facilitated a low sensory space for Normie Corp Event Society’s first multi-day festival, Camp Normie, which took place at The Birdhouse in Vancouver in September 2023. Normie was founded in 2020 amidst the pandemic lockdown, bringing community together safely online. They create nightlife and music based events by, featuring, and for 2SQTBIPOC people in the Lower Mainland.
The event was a success. We had participants who thanked us for being there. Some said that they wouldn’t have been able to stay as long, while others said they would have less overwhelm to recover from. We were happy to be there for them.
Our low sensory toys were popular with neurodivergent and non-neurodivergent attendees alike.
