PARN-Your Community AIDS Resource Network

06/02/2026

Pride isn’t just a moment on a calendar—it’s a feeling of community, safety, and joy that we deserve to carry with us all summer long. 🏳️‍🌈✨
We’ve noticed that Peterborough needs more vibrant, welcoming spaces to just let loose and dance. So, we decided to combine two of our absolute favorite things: community celebration and fresh boba.

Roxxy Waters proudly presents Pride + Boba, a charity Pride dance party! Brought to life by our local organizers and ambassadors, Nikki and Michael , this space is built for every single member of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community and the allies who love and stand with us.

The best part? While we’re tearing up the dance floor, we’ll also be raising crucial funds for us(PARN) to support the incredible work we do right here in our community. 🧋💃

🗓️ The Details
When: June 13th | 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM (the perfect day-party vibe)
Where: Milk + Tea (360 George St North, Suite 57)
Why: To dance, build community, and show up for a great cause.

Come as you are, bring your friends, and let’s kick off the summer with love, music, and a little bit of sweetness. We can't wait to see you there. 🫶

May 7th is International Harm Reduction Day. Harm reduction is a critical approach to reducing harms associated with substance use and supporting the well-being of people who use substances, that includes reducing overdose and the spread of HIV and other blood-borne infections. As harm reduction is becoming increasingly restricted, it’s important for service providers to support each other to address gaps in services and understand the unique challenges of harm reduction for women and gender-diverse people.
